Town of Glendo Under Investigation

The Town of Glendo is under investigation due to a report of “Suspicious charges and money handling,” according to Platte County sheriff David Russell. Upon receiving the report in July, Sheriff Russell assigned the case to a part-time investigator previously employed by DCI.

During Glendo’s Town Council meeting on Aug. 14, Mayor Susan Juschka confirmed the investigation, stating, “Tristany Hoffman has been terminated as our Clerk/Treasurer. It is an ongoing investigation through the sheriff’s office because of some bank anomalies.”

The Platte County Sheriff’s office has been gathering information, and has applied for search warrants to view bank records and other documents. When asked how long it could take, Sheriff Russell said the goal is for the investigation to be complete within a couple of weeks, depending on when the bank information is received.

With the clerk/treasurer position open, the town’s assistant clerk, Kelsey Crabtree, has

stepped into the head clerk position in the interim.
