Months after receiving the results of a state criminal investigation into how Teton County pays its bills, Prosecutor Steve Weichman said he likely will not press charges against employees or commissioners.

Weichman said Monday, about four months after receiving documentation from the Division of Criminal Investigations, he almost is finished reviewing the case. The paperwork shows Teton County commissioners authorized almost 300 payments to creditors without itemized receipts or receipts at all. State law requires county commissioners to approve only those vouchers that have itemized receipts attached.

“The results of the investigation have not resulted in any recommendation of prosecution,” Weichman said. “It has also cleared much of my alarm. What remains is a wheelbarrow full of public documents I assume you would find great interest in. That doesn’t mean it’s criminal.”
