Delaware County Prosecutor Mark McKinney received as much as $100,000 over the past several years. This was related to forfeiture cases handled by the Drug Task Force over that period of time.

Judge Richard Dailey has set another hearing at 1:30 p.m. today to review those records and hear testimony from former police chief Joe Winkle, among others.
