A couple who served as long-time associate members of the Limestone Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police has been indicted by a Mason County grand jury for allegedly stealing from the lodge.

According to the indictments, Daphne June Jones and Charles Arthur Jones took about $3,000 in cash and checks from the lodge over a 12-month period, beginning in November 2021.

According to Maysville Police Chief Mike Palmer, Charles Jones served as vice president of the lodge and Daphne Jones as treasurer.

“They had been members for a long time with no problems,” Palmer said. Then some discrepancies were noticed, he said. Once the discovery was made, the investigation was turned over to Kentucky State Police, he said.

Apparently, the couple was soliciting donations and cashing the checks but failing to deposit them. Instead, they allegedly kept the proceeds from the checks along with cash donations totaling $3,000, the indictments show.

Money from the checks was recovered but not the cash donations, Palmer said.

Both Joneses face a charge of theft by unlawful taking over $1,000 but under $10,000.

A bench warrant with a $500 bond has been issued for each of the defendants. Information on possible court dates was not available.
