Office of Attorney General won't file House of Manna theft charges against Sheriff Tuhy

Talk about it

The Office of the Attorney General in Bismarck will not file charges against the Stark County sheriff for an alleged theft, according to a letter from the agency.

Sheriff Clarence Tuhy was allegedly involved in a theft at the House of Manna in Dickinson, a nonprofit organization that accepts donations and distributes to those in need. He previously told The Dickinson Press “it was an honest mistake.”

Stark County State’s Attorney Tom Henning sent a letter dated March 27 asking the Bureau of Criminal Investigation to review the incident. Assistant Attorney General Paul Emerson wrote in a letter dated Tuesday that the BCI conducted a thorough investigation and the matter did not warrant prosecution. The property in question was returned to the House of Manna. Emerson considered the matter closed.

The Office of the Attorney General declined further comment. Henning confirmed he received the letter but also declined comment.
