JSO began investigating after receiving a complaint in April that Holtsman was billing the City and a secondary employer for hours worked on an overlapping his schedule.
Holtsman was put under surveillance. JSO said he defrauded homeowner associations of hundreds of dollars in approximately 10 days of JSO surveillance.

JSO said he was working security for several homeowner associations and falsified the number of hours he worked for them and the City.
This is the sixth JSO officer arrested so far in 2017. Eleven JSO employees were arrested in 2016, the sheriff's office said.
