BENTON — Dan Harmon, a former prosecutor turned convict, is back on the government payroll.
He was pinched by federal investigators more than a decade ago for taking drugs and money from criminals in exchange for dropped charges. Now, Harmon makes $9 an hour working temporarily for the Saline County Circuit Court clerk.
The white-haired 63-year-old spends most days in a dank garage across from the Saline County courthouse sorting through old civil files, making sure what has been scanned into a computer matches the paper file.
It's one of several part-time jobs Harmon has found since being released from federal prison in late 2005.
