On August 18th, Kaci Lynn Clark, age 28, of Independence was issued a criminal citation for the crime of Theft II. The investigation that began on July 28th of this year was kicked off after staff began noticing discrepancies in the deposits of ferry monies received from the usage of the Wheatland Ferry.
After discovering the discrepancies Ms. Clark was placed on administrative leave and Detectives with the Marion County Sheriff's Office were called in to investigate. Detectives believe Ms. Clark was collecting the fee, not recording the vehicle and pocketing the money. The investigation into the case is still ongoing and additional theft charges may be added. The Sheriff's Office does not anticipate any further releases regarding this case and there is no image of Ms. Clark available for release. Information regarding the ferry, its location and fees can be found at http://www.co.marion.or.us/PW/ferries/ .
The updated photo was taken in 2012 during a period of high water.
