Afroman suspects the $400 was either stolen while it was being held by the sheriff’s office, or swiped from his home.“They might’ve took it from my house after they disconnected my cameras and tampered with evidence,” he told TMZ.According to WXIX, Adams County Sheriff Kimmy Rogers announced on Wednesday that he has asked the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation to investigate the matter.

When TMZ asked if he planned on filing a lawsuit over the alleged missing cash, Afroman was more upset about the allegations.“I took a financial loss when they put kidnapping on the search warrant,” he explained. “I’m not a kidnapper. But when people hear those types of words, they overreact to the point where it affected me financially.
