Ron Reynolds – Whitley County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Attorney Ron Reynolds conspired with former Sheriff Lawrence Hodge between 2004 and 2007 to extort over $55,000 from individuals charged with felony drug offenses. Hodge referred these individuals to Reynolds, who encouraged them to make payments to the Sheriff’s Department in exchange for reduced or dismissed charges. Reynolds pleaded guilty to extortion charges in March 2011 and was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison in July 2011. He also agreed to forfeit $199,000.
