Jefferson Co., Mo. (KFMO) - An Oakville man is facing multiple charges after allegedly spending tens of thousands of dollars on a company credit card in Jefferson County.

According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, Kevin Scott Tate is accused of using the company card between August 2022 and May 2023 for personal expenses totaling more than $30,000. A forensic audit revealed the unauthorized charges after the company grew suspicious.
