  • Two counts of Forgery — Class D Felonies
  • One count of Tampering with a Computer — Class A Misdemeanor

In a statement, the Sheriff’s Office emphasized its commitment to impartial enforcement of the law, noting that position, title, or prior affiliation do not shield any individual from accountability when credible allegations arise.

Reese was transported to the Phelps County Jail following her arrest. Officials say the investigation remains active, and no further information will be released at this time.
