Overview
- Ashley Ketcherside, who was arrested Tuesday, is accused of running a years‑long operation that meets the legal definition of racketeering, according to county prosecutors.
- Her husband, Michael Ketcherside, was arrested earlier on continuous promotion of prostitution and now also faces a racketeering count, court and jail records show.
- Investigators executed a March 31 search at the couple’s home and say phones and storage devices held client lists, messages about pricing, and coordination details.
- Former police chief Matthew Cantrell is charged with promoting prostitution and ex‑officer Solomon Omotoya is charged with soliciting; court records say Cantrell subscribed to Ashley’s OnlyFans and cited a $1,000‑per‑hour rate, and Omotoya allegedly sought sex for yard work or babysitting.
- Court filings describe an effort to compile information on perceived adversaries in local government, and the district attorney says the probe remains active with more arrests expected; the defendants have previously denied wrongdoing.
