GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. – A longtime Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged with organized fraud after investigators said they found he was falsifying time cards for his secondary employment.
Deputy Timothy James Bell, a 26-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, was fired after his arrest, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook announced Thursday.
Cook said the Sheriff’s Office got a tip from within the agency in late October and started looking into Bell’s secondary employment activity.
