Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney Jerry Jarzynka announced the creation of a new division within the prosecutor’s office focusing on retail fraud, shoplifting and bounced checks at businesses. Several years ago the office eliminated a similar department due to budget cuts. The funding for the new office, to begin in late June, will come from restitution fees and penalties imposed on those convicted of these crimes. Appearing on The Bart Hawley Show, Jarzynka also provided updates on recently concluded cases.
