In a shocking turn of events, Darke County Auditor S.R. Hiatt has been forced to issue a warrant for $900, a sum that will undoubtedly leave a bitter taste in the mouths of local taxpayers. The warrant is linked to a bond purchased by County Treasurer D.M. Brown, and the Stenzel and Pendlum Insurance agency is breathing down Hiatt’s neck, demanding payment. According to court documents, Hiatt initially refused to issue the warrant, sparking a heated battle with the insurance agency. However, the common pleas court intervened, granting an alternative writ that has left Hiatt with little choice but to cough up the cash. The question on everyone’s lips is: what took Hiatt so long to come clean about the outstanding bond debt?
