(CASSOPOLIS) - After almost four months serving as Interim Prosecutor, Sarah Scoggin will be sworn in as Cass County Prosecutor on Monday.
According to Michigan law, Cass County Circuit Court Judge Mark Herman appointed Scoggin as Interim Prosecutor on May 28, following the resignation of former Prosecutor Victor Fitz.
Scoggin agreed to the appointment, giving her an opportunity to gain experience in the position before deciding whether to serve the remainder of Fitz's unexpired term which ends in 2028.
Herman says he has been impressed with the job Scoggin has done as Prosecutor. Herman says she has been prepared and professional in his courtroom. Additionally, Herman says he has heard nothing but praise for the job Scoggin is doing within the courts and with the law enforcement community thus far.
Since her initial appointment, Scoggin has hired two assistant prosecutors; one temporary and one permanent, and restructured the office's operational staff, elevating existing employees into higher-level positions.
Scoggin says the residents of Cass County deserve to have an individual committed to carrying out prosecutorial functions fairly and effectively, and she feels that she has the capacity to do just that.
Scoggin will officially be sworn in Monday at 4 PM in in Judge Herman's courtroom at the Cass County Law & Courts Building, 60296 M-62, Cassopolis.
