(Madison County, IA) -- Madison County Attorney Stephen Swanson has filed a petition to remove Treasurer Amanda DeVos from office as she faces criminal charges.
DeVos was arrested in January on charges of fraud, theft, and misconduct in office after being accused of misallocating more than a quarter of a million dollars over several months. Swanson filed the petition under Chapter 66 of the Iowa Code, seeking both a temporary and permanent injunction against DeVos.
