Resident tells Clay County commission of repeated break‑ins, alleged drug use and missing checks from local Republican women's group
During the public comment period of the Clay County Commission meeting, resident Robin Shira described a nine‑year history of break‑ins at her home on East Washington in Elk Point, said she detected drug use she identified as meth and said underage girls had been found in her attic.

"My name is Robin Shira. I live at 311 East Washington And Elk Point," she said, then described reporting repeated intrusions to local police and a conversation with a candidate for governor and state House speaker John Hansen about establishing a task force to investigate. Shira said she is an environmental engineer and has hazmat and radiological response experience, which led her to identify the odor she described as meth.

Shira also alleged a theft involving deposits to a newly formed South Southeast South Dakota Republican women's group account at FirstBank. She said she deposited checks on behalf of members and later learned the checks had been stolen and returned by another person rather than processed by the bank. "It was stolen... Those checks were stolen and returned to me, not by the cap the bank, but by another person," she said, and described threats made to members who tried to participate in the group.

Commissioners listened during the comment and the chair thanked Shira; no formal follow‑up action was recorded on the transcript. The allegations reported during public comment were presented as statements by the speaker and were not independently corroborated on the record.
