BOONE COUNTY, Iowa — A new date has been set for the trial surrounding former Madison County Treasurer Amanda DeVos.

Devos, 38, is facing four criminal charges, including Felonious Misconduct in Office, Tampering with Records, Fraudulent Practice in the Third Degree and Third-Degree Theft. The case against her is expected to be presented to a jury beginning Tuesday, Dec. 16.

In a brief telephone discussion during a Trial Scheduling Conference on Thursday afternoon, attorneys said they expected it to last three days.

The trial was initially set for June in Madison County, but has been delayed several times. Most recently, a September 16 trial date was pushed due to a scheduling conflict with the prosecution. The trial will be held in Boone County after her attorney was granted a change of venue.

DeVos was arrested in late January for allegedly using her access as county treasurer to alter government records to make it look like she paid for her vehicle registration plates when she had not. Investigators later announced additional charges were pending for an entirely different criminal scenario, allegedly involving her property taxes.

Around the same time, WHO 13 uncovered a series of alleged financial issues within the county that appeared to stem from mismanagement of funds. The City of Winterset, which serves as the county seat, confirmed hundreds of thousands of dollars that were erroneously deposited into its account by the Treasurer’s office. Around the same time, one local school district told WHO 13 that it was forced to withdraw investment funds to cover payroll after distributions from the Treasurer’s office were late. DeVos has not been criminally charged in connection with these issues.

DeVos allegedly refused to resign after her arrest and continued to collect her paycheck and benefits for months. She finally issued her resignation in mid-July, roughly three months after the Madison County Attorney told WHO 13’s Katie Kaplan that he had first requested it. DeVos admitted “no wrongdoing” in her resignation letter.

In the aftermath of the controversy, the county is taking steps to move forward and is working “diligently” to get back on track. The new Treasurer, who was formally appointed in August, told WHO 13 earlier this week that she is working with the newly-elected Auditor to catch up in the aftermath. However, property tax statements for the county will be issued late.
