Federal Bureau of Investigation agents visited the Lake County Clerk’s Office on Tuesday morning.
Clerk’s Office Executive Chief Deputy Marilyn Hrnjak confirmed that agents visited the office, but she didn’t know why they visited, who they were investigating, or if they took any records.
Lake County Clerk Mike Brown forwarded the call to Hrnjak since he was away from the office for a time on Tuesday.
“Beyond that, I was at a meeting, so I didn’t have interaction with the (people),” Hrnjak said.
Calls to the U.S. Attorney’s Office were not returned.
Former Lake County Clerk Thomas Philpot is faces a federal indictment for paying himself, without approval of the Lake County Council Council, when he was the county clerk, from an incentive fund meant for employees who collect child support. He has pleaded not guilty in the case and had paid back the money before the indictment was filed.
