Former deputy sentenced in theft case
The Cincinnati Enquirer
NEWPORT — A former Kenton County Jail deputy pleaded guilty Tuesday in Campbell County Circuit Court to a felony charge of theft by unlawful undertaking.
Matthew Walden was sentenced to two years of probation, 200 hours of community service and $250 in fines. He will serve a year in prison if he violates that sentence, said Campbell Circuit Judge William Wehr.
He had been with the Kenton County Jail for eight years and was a sergeant when he resigned in January. The jail's administrators had been pushing for an investigation because of allegations that Mr. Walden took $504 in bond money that was intended to secure someone's release from jail.
The missing money was reported after it failed to appear with certain paperwork.
Mr. Walden is the son of Judy Walden, a former Kenton County chief deputy sheriff who ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 1993.
Then-Sheriff Bill Steenken fired her that year, after she filed to run for his job.
