Ex-Lonoke County Assessor Faces Credit Card Fraud Charge

Authorities say a former Lonoke County assessor faces charges including credit card fraud and property theft.

Sheriff's deputies arrested 58-year-old Jack McNally of Cabot on Thursday following an Arkansas State Police investigation into the findings of a 2013 Legislative Audit on Lonoke County.

Lonoke County Prosecuting Attorney Chuck Graham said McNally was taken into custody without incident.

In addition to the credit card fraud and theft charges, McNally is charged with possessing firearms by a certain person, violating voter eligibility and violating a political practice pledge.

Sheriff John Staley said McNally served as county assessor from 2010 to 2013. It wasn't immediately clear if McNally has an attorney.
