On or about September 2017 Nevada County Sheriff's Department was notified that funds were missing from an account held by the Nevada County Rescue Unit.

Allegations were made due to bank statements that the Chief of the Rescue Unit Jordan Jester had made unauthorized purchases with a debit card attached to this account.

Prosecuting Attorney Christy McQueen was contacted by Investigator Robert Missey in reference to this matter. McQueen advised Investigator Missey to contact the Arkansas State Police Criminal Division and turn the case over to them due to the fact Jordan Jester was also associated with the Sheriff's Department as an Auxiliary Deputy.

Jordan Jester was called into the Sheriff's Department and was suspended from his Auxiliary Status until the State Police could conduct an investigation.

The Arkansas Legislative Audit was contacted to conduct an audit of the funds, with an audit being completed in or about February 2018 finding approximately 3540.00 of unauthorized purchases and withdrawals.

On March 22nd 2018 Jordan Jester was placed under arrest due to the investigation and was charged with Fraudulent use of a credit card or debit card and for Theft of Property over 1000.00. Jester is being held for first appearance on these charges at the

Nevada County detention facility.

Jordan Jester was also terminated from his position as Auxiliary Deputy with the Nevada County Sheriff's Department on March 22nd 2018.
