Cuyahoga County OH June 15 2023
Former East Cleveland Police Chief Scott Gardner previously arrested for theft while in office and charges of failing to properly pay taxes for several years is now facing more charges relating to his security guard company.
A Cuyahoga County grand jury has slapped the indicted former East Cleveland police chief Scott Gardner with 11 more charges that accuse him of money laundering and passing bad checks.
The indictment handed up Tuesday alleges that Gardner, 48, wrote thousands of dollars in checks he knew wouldn’t clear from a police union account to his private security company that employed off-duty police officers.
