Troup County Terminates Employee for Payroll Mishaps – GBI Investigating

Troup County Terminates Employee for Payroll Mishaps – GBI Investigating

Discrepancies in tax allocated funds shouldn’t be something on a government radar. However, in Troup County it is.

Reliable source has provided GT that Troup County Official Wesleigh Gaddy, a Payroll & Benefits Generalist was terminated on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. Reliable source also provides that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) was at Gaddy’s residence the evening of May 7, 2025.

An internal investigation, consult the District Attorney’s Office, and outside law enforcement to aid. Troup County is conducting a thorough review of its payroll and internal control procedures. 

This is just disgusting. If the discrepancy was that of error, then the employee should have just been disciplined leading up to termination. However, the DA’s office and outside law enforcement help was requested. Does this sound like a simple accounting error? Are there more people involved? GT has mentioned in the past that County Manager Eric Mosely should have been terminated a long time ago.

GT will keep you up to date as sources provide information.
