Although former Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish is serving time in a federal prison, he still faces another civil lawsuit. A couple motions of the case were debated in court today. Ray Magnus was awarded $102,000 as part of the more than $600,000 Crish has to pay back from his federal case. But there is no timetable when that will be paid back. Magnus and attorneys said they have a claim to the $85,000  "Furtherance of Justice Fund" that Crish used while in office. That fund is a bond which Auto Owners Insurance said Magnus has no claim to.
