LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — A coroner in southwest Washington is under investigation for fraud after the State Auditor’s Office says it found he accepted more than $12,000 in personal reimbursements for travel expenses that had been paid by the county. The Daily News reports according to a report from the Auditor’s Office, between February, 2016, and May, 2019 Cowlitz County coroner Tim Davidson was reimbursed for travel expenses from two organizations, even though the county had paid for his travel. In December the report says the auditor’s office interviewed Davidson, who acknowledged personally receiving the reimbursement funds and offered to repay the county. Davidson had no comment, according to the newspaper.
