Nearly a decade after Saraland Police Officer Jackie Tucker was shot in the head while responding to a domestic violence call in December 2016, a Mobile County Probate Court review has found that most of the money set aside for her long-term care was never used for her benefit. Tucker was left with life-altering injuries from the shooting and was later declared incapacitated, prompting the probate court to appoint her husband, Prichard Police Sgt. Aaron Tucker, as her conservator. His sister, Shawna Williams, later joined him as co-conservator, giving the pair control over Jackie’s finances.
Court audits eventually turned up a string of irregularities in how the conservatorship was managed, including failures to report money raised through fundraisers and a $343,000 U.S. Department of Justice benefit payment. Auditors also flagged large cash withdrawals from the conservatorship account and checks Aaron Tucker wrote to himself. According to an August 2025 court order, the conservatorship estate had received $554,305 on Jackie’s behalf, and by June 2022 nearly all of it had already been spent.
The probate court removed Aaron Tucker and his sister as co-conservators, citing misappropriation of funds, and appointed attorney Scott McNally as Guardian ad Litem to represent Jackie’s interests going forward. McNally’s review determined that only a small portion of the money had actually gone toward Jackie’s care. He found that Aaron Tucker instead spent a significant share of the funds gambling at casinos in Mississippi.
The court order also states that Aaron Tucker used conservatorship funds to buy a $97,000 Mercedes Sprinter van that lacked the accessibility equipment Jackie needed, as well as a food truck the order says he used for personal purposes. Hartford Fire Insurance Company, which had backed the conservatorship bond and paid money into Jackie’s estate, was awarded a $201,751 judgment against Aaron Tucker and his sister last year.
Hartford is now working to collect on that judgment. Court filings say the Prichard Police Department has not responded to the company’s attempt to garnish Aaron Tucker’s wages, prompting Hartford to ask the Mobile County Probate Court to compel the department to answer the garnishment request. The filing comes as the Prichard Police Department remains under the operational control of the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office amid a separate, ongoing public corruption investigation.
