Montgomery County 123cg Sheriff Raymond Kight said he is cutting off requests by his deputies to take outside training in martial arts, shooting and being a bodyguard as part of a taxpayer-funded tuition-assistance program — a program Kight and other county officials are investigating because of allegations of fraud.
Kight said his office has denied five recent applications by his deputies –for a $1,500 yearlong martial arts class geared toward law enforcement officers, a $625 executive protection training class, and a $595 three-day handgun class in North Carolina — because of concerns the money would be misspent.
