A former Howell County Sheriff’s Department sergeant has been indicted for stealing charges.
A Facebook post by Sheriff Matt Roberts says Brian Jackson of Cabool has been charged with two counts of stealing more than $750 dollars.
An investigation was started by the previous sheriff and the Highway Patrol after another employee reported fraudulent activity relating to overtime and extra duty funds.
Investigators found Jackson engaged in long term theft by falsifying records and manipulating government databases.
Jackson was fired from the sheriff’s department in July of 2024.
