ARDMORE, Okla. ―Oklahoma state authorities are investigating allegations of misconduct by the Carter County Drug Court.

The Oklahoma State Attorney General's Office confirmed Wednesday they are investigating the possible misappropriation of District 20 Drug Court money.

The State Attorney General’s Office says they have been working the case for more than a month and a half, but would not say who exactly they are investigating.

Carter County district attorney Craig Ladd says he will not be taking the case because of a conflict of interest. Instead, Pontotoc County district attorney Chris Ross will review the report once the investigation is finished.

Former drug court chief Garland Morgan resigned last month.

We tried to talk to the interim drug court chief appointed by Judge Lee Card, but her office refused an interview.
