Joe Palma

Franklin, KY: A lawsuit filed by the Simpson County Fiscal Court in 2004 against former County Sheriff, Joe Palma accused him of stealing $23,000 from the county. Despite evidence, Palma avoided jail time when he entered an "Alford plea" to three felony counts and one misdemeanor. Civil action between Joe Palma and Simpson County was settled on January 10, 2007 after he filed Chapter Seven Bankruptcy. The case was dismissed after he paid the county $10,969 in a settlement.
