PARAGOULD, Ark. — Special Agents with the Arkansas State Police (ASP) Criminal Investigation Division (CID) have arrested Tammy Doherty, 54, of Paragould, in connection with an ongoing theft investigation that began in July 2024.
Doherty, who previously served as the financial director for the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, was terminated following an internal investigation that determined she had fraudulently claimed 75 hours of work time.
The investigation was later expanded after the Arkansas Legislative Audit identified missing funds from the inmate commissary system. Additional review also revealed missing circuit court funds, totaling approximately 0,000.
Doherty is currently being held at the Greene County Detention Center on a 0,000 cash bond.
Doherty is the second former Greene County Sheriff’s Office employee arrested following theft investigations that began in July 2024.
That same month, Sheriff Brad Snyder discovered cash from Drug Task Force arrests missing from a safe and requested an ASP investigation. That probe led to the November 2024 arrest of former deputy James Huffstetler, accused of stealing roughly 1,860 in seized cash and department property.
Huffstetler, 57, later pleaded guilty to felony theft and was sentenced to 60 months’ probation and ordered to pay ,910 in restitution to the sheriff’s office.
No other information will be released at this time.
