The Shelby County Board of Commissioners is seeking a status update from Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp on the current investigation of County Clerk Wanda Halbert, the Commercial Appeal reports. Wamp was appointed to investigate Halbert's office in June following numerous complaints that could indicate a willful neglect to perform the duties of office. The resolution sites the closure of the satellite office in East Memphis in addition to public complaints of the clerk's office operations. The Commercial Appeal reports that according to documents from the Shelby County Trustee's Office, Halbert has not submitted a completed revenue report on time since July 2021.
