The Madera County Public Guardian's Office has been seized by Madera police and Madera County sheriff's deputies, and the office is under investigation by the district attorney.

It was closed Monday, but has been open the rest of the week, including today.

Madera County District Attorney Michael R. Keitz said Thursday that "in the early-morning hours of Monday," his office, with the assistance of the police and sheriff's departments, "seized the Madera County Public Guardian's Office in order to examine its internal operations."

Keitz said he "hopes the fruits of the seizure will shortly bring to conclusion an investigation by the District Attorney's Office, which it inherited from the Madera County Grand Jury approximately three months ago.
