The Daily Star had the scoop yesterday: Lisa Barrows, the former Stop DWI coordinator for Delaware County who was removed abrupty from her job last 
year, is now facing a felony charge brought by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office:
According to court documents, on Dec. 15, while she was still employed by the county, Barrows took a set of golf clubs with a value of more than $1,000 that was county property, the official said. She was issued an appearance ticket to appear at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Delhi Town Court.
We reached out to Barrows, who responded by maintaining her innocence and referring all questions to her lawyer.
As we wrote last year, Barrows was not reappointed despite widespread regard for the program under her stewardship. She has since filed harrassment and threat complaints against three Delaware County supervisors.
The Daily Star article pointed out that it is unclear how Delaware County came to be in possession of the golf clubs. We have a guess, however: Barrows ran an annual golf tournament, which she launched in 2005, to raise money for the Stop DWI program. No doubt the golf clubs were a donation or a gift related to the yearly event.
Ironically, in the program for the inaugral 2005 tournament, Barrows included an effusive thanks to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office:
To everyone at the Sheriff’s Department, Probation Department and the New York State Police, a huge ‘thank you’ for your support, not only for this tournament but for your continued support of the STOP-DWI Program.
