Search Warrant Reveals Details In Jerome Block Allegations Read more: http://www.koat.com/news/28853612/detail.html#ixzz1UtlAWBMb

A search warrant reveals new details about allegations against PRC Commissioner Jerome Block.
The Attorney General's Office believes that Block used his state-provided gas card to fill up several different cars, sometimes several times a day, at gas stations in Santa Fe and Espanola, according to the search warrant.The warrant also alleges that Block lied about the odometer reading when filling up. Instead of putting in the accurate number, he used his pin number dozens of times, according to the document.The warrant alleges that, when Block's pin was canceled, he asked other PRC employees for their social security numbers, saying he needed the numbers to wire them money he owed, but instead bought gas on those employees' accounts.Rep. Nate Gentry, who has began looking into the process of impeaching Block, said the commissioner needed to resign."It's unbelievable. He needs to quickly resign so that he does not waste legislative time and taxpayer money on impeachment proceedings," Gentry said.PRC Commissioner Jason Marks said explanations for the accusations would be hard to come by."These patterns of use are highly questionable. It's very hard to come up with plausible and innocent explanations," Marks said.The Attorney General's Office searched Block's state car on Aug. 4 and took several items.
