Paragould Arkansas-Special Agents with the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division have arrested Tammy Doherty, age 54 of Paragould in connection with an ongoing investigation in July 2024.
Doherty, who previously served as the finance director for the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, was terminated following an internal investigation that determined she’d 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 $40,000.
Doherty is currently being held at the Greene County Detention Center on $50,000 cash bond.
