SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – A second Seminole County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged with organized fraud following an investigation into falsified overtime timesheets.
News 6 obtained court documents Thursday that claim Deputy Kevin Jones submitted timesheets claiming four hours of overtime for 21 separate shifts — hours that agency records showed he did not fully work.
Jones turned himself in at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility on Wednesday after a warrant for his arrest was issued. He faces one count of organized fraud, a third-degree felony. Records show he was later released from jail on a $2,500 bond.

Jones, a school resource deputy at Geneva Elementary School, was assigned to an off-duty overtime detail at the Northwest Branch Library at 580 Greenway Blvd. in Lake Mary. Investigators say between November 2024 and May 2025, Jones submitted false timesheets. Their investigation began once the library branch manager raised the alarm after noticing “inconsistencies.”
Investigators used internal Seminole County Sheriff’s Office tracking systems, including a computer-aided dispatch system, and cross-referenced those records with handwritten library log sheets to document the discrepancies. The affidavit notes Jones also repeatedly disabled his AVL Sherlock tracking software on his laptop — a violation of the sheriff’s office policy.
A payroll review found Jones submitted 84 hours of overtime for the Greenwood Lakes Library detail, according to the affidavit. Investigators believe he actually worked 55 hours — a 29-hour discrepancy. Officials calculated the overpayment at approximately $1,770.24, the affidavit states.
Jones has been employed with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office since January 2016. He was suspended in late August 2025 pending the outcome of the investigation. Sheriff Dennis Lemma has since served Jones with a Notice of Proposed Discipline for termination.
Under the agency’s disciplinary process, Jones may request a name-clearing hearing to appeal the proposed termination.

This arrest follows the February 2026 arrest of former Deputy Nestor Nieves Jr., who was arrested on a warrant for organized fraud after investigators claimed he submitted falsified overtime timesheets between October 2024 and August 2025, obtaining thousands of dollars in pay for hours not worked.
