Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick is opening an investigation into the St. Louis City Justice Center, according to letters obtained by KMOX sent to the City of St. Louis and the Detention Facility Oversight Board.

This comes after letters were sent to the auditor from State Senator Steve Roberts and the DFOB.

Among the documents requested by the auditor's letter are the CJC's food vendor invoices and its healthcare contract along with documentation related to the Oversight Board.

Fitzpatrick joins KMOX's Sean Malone to elaborate.
