Former Sheriff Faces Theft Charge | Jefferson City News

Former Randolph County sheriff Aaron Wilson faces felony theft charges after cashing a $5,000 check in June 2025 that was never deposited — sparking an investigation led by current sheriff Andy Boggs. Prosecutors filed formal charges in July 2026, prompting multiple judge recusals before the Missouri Supreme Court assigned Macon County Judge Kristen Burks to preside.
