A new audit from the Jefferson Parish Inspector General’s Office questions more than three-quarters of the parish’s reimbursements in recent years to a center for troubled youth founded by former Saints star Rickey Jackson.
The audit, released Monday by Inspector General David McClintock’s office, said the Rickey Jackson Community Hope Center in Marrero received reimbursements for more than $158,000 in expenses from the parish without adequately proving it had spent the money as it said. The center received slightly more than $200,000 overall.
