JACKSON COUNTY, Ind. (WLWT) — A former Indiana deputy has been charged and accused of improperly accessing Flock camera data, according to Indiana State Police.
Troopers say the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department contacted ISP on August 14 after an internal audit of their department’s Flock camera access revealed the “improper use” of the system by Deputy Skylar Thompson, 31.
According to ISP, the audit revealed that Thompson allegedly searched the same registration plate number over 2,000 times between December 2025 and August 2026 through his Flock account access.
Detectives with ISP’s Sellersburg Post immediately began an investigation into the accusations.
Officials say the investigation’s findings were presented to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office. As a result, Thompson was charged with one count of Official Misconduct (level six felony) and one count of fraud (class A misdemeanor).
ISP says Thompson has been arrested and will “soon” face an initial appearance in the Jackson County Circuit Court.
Thompson is no longer employed with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
