PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) -- The Pueblo County sheriff said the head of the department's evidence and property section has resigned amid an investigation into missing cash.
Sheriff Kirk Taylor told the Pueblo Chieftain Friday that Tara Adame had resigned earlier this month.
Taylor said she is a person of interest in the investigation and has not been arrested or charged.
No phone listing could be found for her.
The Chieftain said she could not be reached for comment Friday.
Taylor said "a substantial amount of cash" is missing from the department's evidence section, including $400 from a homicide case.
The exact total hasn't been released.
Taylor said prescription drugs may also be missing.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is looking into the case.
