MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) – An eastern Indiana county treasurer has surrendered to face 46 felony counts and one misdemeanor alleging he stole public funds.
Delaware County Treasurer John Dorer surrendered Monday at the county's Justice Center in Muncie after prosecutors filed the charges in Delaware Circuit Court.
