Weber County prosecutors are trying to determine which of their cases have solid footing and which have crumbled following a scandal in which the sheriff’s office evidence technician admitted to stealing methamphetamine from the evidence room.
County Attorney Christopher Allred said the number of cases impacted depends on how much evidence is determined to have been tampered with. An audit of the room, which was found to be in complete disarray, is expected to take more than a year.
Luckily, Allred said, evidence technician Candy Follum was courteous enough to mostly steal meth that was scheduled to be destroyed.
