Former Randolph County Sheriff Aaron Wilson is scheduled to appear in court today for a preliminary hearing on a felony stealing charge.
Wilson is accused of stealing and cashing a five-thousand-dollar check while serving as sheriff. Court documents say the check was labeled “Sponsor fee 25 Randolph” and was deposited at Wilson’s own bank.
Wilson told investigators the check was a thank-you for doing business with someone and said his name was on it.
Wilson pleaded not guilty and turned himself in to Moberly police in July.
The criminal case is separate from a 2025 audit that found misuse of county funds.
Wilson is due in the Randolph County Courts at 1:30pm
