Scott Jenkins
Scott Jenkins is a former sheriff of Culpeper County, Virginia, who gained notoriety after being convicted in December 2024 for conspiracy, honest services fraud, and bribery. He was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for accepting over $75,000 in bribes in exchange for appointing businessmen as auxiliary deputy sheriffs. His case highlighted issues of corruption within law enforcement and the accountability of elected officials. Recently, President Donald Trump announced a full and unconditional pardon for Jenkins, claiming he was unjustly persecuted by the Biden administration.
