The Town and Country Police Department confirmed via Facebook that Fowle was a former officer and is facing charges. The department adds it’s been in contact with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office “and has no reason at the present time to believe any alleged incidents occurred while Jordan Fowle was on duty, or otherwise acting in the official capacity of a Town and Country Police Officer.”
According to court documents obtained from FOX 2, Fowle is linked to several sex crimes between August 2012 and July 2023 with two victims.
Per court documents, Fowle caused “emotional distress” to both victims, and one had “several long term stays at mental health facilities” after the reported crimes.
