Ms. Altemus also forbid them to return to their offices unaccompanied. In addition, prior to being sworn in and being made the chairperson, with the help of her accomplices, Teresa Altemus had previously contracted to hire her friend, Lacy Smith, to become the interim county administrator immediately.
