Sheriff Slaughter announced Thursday that former captain Raymond Hitchcock has been cited for misdemeanor theft of property by embezzlement in connection with the investigation into the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office.

Hitchcock is accused of taking a firearm purchased by the county without authorization following his retirement in June of 2017.

John Stevens, the former undersheriff, faces charges in the case. He is accused of taking three firearms that were bought with county money after he retired from the CCSO. He was charged with one felony count of theft last week.
