SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – A second Seminole County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged with organized fraud following an investigation into falsified overtime timesheets.
News 6 obtained court documents Thursday that claim Deputy Kevin Jones submitted timesheets claiming four hours of overtime for 21 separate shifts — hours that agency records showed he did not fully work.
Jones turned himself in at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility on Wednesday after a warrant for his arrest was issued. He faces one count of organized fraud, a third-degree felony. Records show he was later released from jail on a $2,500 bond.

This remains the most prevalent form of financial crime globally. It targets the direct access points to your money: your cards and your bank accounts.
- Skimming: Criminals use small devices called “skimmers” placed over ATM or point-of-sale card slots to capture the data from your card’s magnetic strip.
- Card-Not-Present (CNP) Fraud: This occurs during online shopping where a physical card isn’t required. Thieves use stolen card numbers, expiry dates, and CVV codes to make unauthorized purchases.
- Account Takeover (ATO): A hacker gains access to your online banking credentials (often through malware or phishing) and changes the contact details or passwords, locking you out while they drain your funds.
