While serving as Police Chief from 2014 to 2019, Jon Rohde worked additional jobs as a security guard at Columbus Regional Hospital and as a mediator for the Indiana Office of Court Services during routine business hours without consistently using paid time off. This raised concerns about potential ghost employment. A special prosecutor’s investigation concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove criminal conduct, describing the situation as ‘poor optics, not criminal conduct.’ Rohde later became a Superior Court 2 judge.
