In November 2023, former Deputy Sheriff Joshua Velasco was terminated following an investigation into alleged theft involving his wife, Bethany Camille Velasco. Both were indicted on multiple counts of theft by deception, with Joshua facing four counts involving amounts between $1,000 and $10,000, and one count involving amounts between $500 and $1,000. The indictments resulted from a sheriff’s office investigation into the alleged theft. Both individuals appeared in Laurel Circuit Court and were released pending posting a bond of $2,500 each.
