Attorney General Russell Coleman said 57-year-old Brian Crowe pleaded guilty to one count of abuse of public trust and one count of willful filing of a false tax return.
According to a news release, from January 2023 through February 2024, Crowe paid himself extra paychecks totaling $79,948.09. Then in March 2024, he filed a false tax return, failing to report income from the 2023 year amounting to $69,475.28.
According to the plea agreement, Crowe agreed to a five-year sentence and will be required to pay the Estill Fiscal Court $79,948.09 in restitution and the Kentucky State Treasury $4,687.38 in restitution.
“Kentuckians trust their elected officials to serve with honesty and integrity. The actions of this rogue clerk betrayed that trust. We are grateful to our colleagues in the Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Special Prosecutions who protected Estill County from corruption,” Coleman said.
Crowe is scheduled for sentencing on May 23.
