LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Former Craighead County Clerk Kade Holliday is set to stand trial in federal court next month. The Jonesboro Sun reports in a brief hearing last week, Holliday pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of wire fraud, records show. He faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and three years of supervised release per count. Federal prosecutors allege Holliday, 32, of Jonesboro, transferred county funds to personal banking accounts 11 times from Jan. 29 and June 24. He then cashed cashier’s checks for the exact amounts that were misappropriated. Nearly $1.6 million of public funds that Arkansas State Police and the FBI claim Holliday stole are also the subject of a criminal case and civil suit in Craighead County Circuit Court. Circuit Judge Richard Lusby approved in September a settlement award of $1.4 million, plus interest and legal fees.
