DeRidder transportation director fired over misappropriation of funds, audit says
City officials said internal controls uncovered the missing fare cash, and a criminal investigation is underway after the audit found the only issue in the annual report.
The transportation director for the city of DeRidder was fired earlier this year after $1,600 to $3,000 in cash collected by transit system drivers over a three-month period did not make it to the bank, according to a report released Monday from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor.
