The four officers implicated in a suspected insurance fraud and illegal prescription drug distribution scheme in McMinnville have been identified.
One of them is now a former employee of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department who resigned this week after his name surfaced in the investigation. Although Sheriff Patrick Ray, in a prepared statement, did not reveal the name of the employee “until the investigation is completed”, the Southern Standard on Friday identified Larry Pedigo, Jr., as the employee. Pedigo is also a former McMinnville Police Officer.
According to the report, the two McMinnville Police Officers, Cam Conry and Daniel Clayton have been fired under the state’s at-will policy and David Seibers, a deputy with the Warren County Sheriff’s Department , remains on unpaid suspension pending the results of an internal affairs investigation by the department.
No one has yet been charged.
A raid was conducted Monday morning by state and Warren County law enforcement agencies at the Ameri-Care Urgent Care Clinic on South Chancery Street in McMinnville where the suspected illegal activity had been taking place.
