District Attorney Launches Investigation of Criminal Court Clerk

The district attorney announced Friday his office is launching a full investigation into the actions of Criminal Court clerk David Torrence.

It's the latest development after Channel 4's I-Team first exposed Torrence playing hooky nearly half of last year and admitting he only works three days a week.

Davidson County District Attorney General Torry Johnson announced his office will lead the investigation into Torrence's past records and mileage to determine the full scope of his absences.

“From the moment that report aired, attorneys with our office have been researching laws and reviewing court opinions to determine what options are available and feasible in addressing this behavior,” Johnson said in a news release Friday.

Surprise, Torrance is a Democrat.  No mention of it in the article.  I suppose if Crofton had won the election, you'd hear about it.

Good luck finding someone in a position of power in this city that isn't a member of the jackass party.  I think every single judge that is subject to public election is aligned with the Democratic Party.

Torrence Resigns; Councilman Explains Controversy

Torrence was faced with the decision to resign or face ouster following weeks of controversy about his work habits. This comes a month after the DA's office first began investigating Torrence's activities.

Charlie Tygard said Torrence will receive around $80,000 a year in a tax-payer funded pension.
