JENNINGS COUNTY, Ind. — A sheriff has been indicted by a grand jury after being accused of stealing campaign signs, including those belonging to his opponent, FOX59 reported.
Jennings County Sheriff William K. “Kenny” Freeman Jr. turned himself in following a 6-month investigation into a November 2025 complaint from a sheriff candidate that his signs were being stolen from roadsides. The candidate put a GPS tracker on a sign, which was later found at Freeman’s home.

Freeman was indicted on charges of theft, official misconduct, obstruction of justice and perjury.
