Smith County Sheriff’s Office detectives served a search warrant at the Hideaway Lake Club on Tuesday, but officials refuse to talk about the investigation.

John Moore, the department’s public information officer, said no details will be released at this time. 

However, a tipster in the subdivision tells the Tyler Morning Telegraph “alarge team of people from the sheriff’s department seized financial records and copied the hard drives of office computers.”

In 2005, Smith County Sheriff’s deputies investigated a case of embezzlement at the Hideaway office where officials said $21,000 had been stolen through bogus checks.
