The Lake County Coroner has been indicted on an official misconduct charge.
Charges were filed against Coroner Shannon Kent for allegedly sending his wife to handle numerous death investigations this year even though she was not a sworn deputy.
The 5th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced yesterday that a grand jury indicted Shannon Kent of Leadville on a charge of second degree misconduct.
Kent told “Leadville Today” that he could not speak to the media by the advice of his attorney” and that “I will have my day in court and be able to present my side of the story.”
Kent was appointed coroner in 2012 and was elected to four-year terms in 2014 and 2018.
