A former Pettis County deputy who shot and killed a 25-year-old Sedalia woman in June 2020 was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday for charges related to child pornography.

Jordan Schutte, 40, of Sedalia, was indicted by a Pettis County grand jury for child porn possession and first-degree promoting child porn. He is being held at the Miller County Jail on a $75,000 bond. His next court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says law enforcement received a CyberTip on Aug. 12, 2025, about child porn being uploaded to a SnapChat account. The account’s phone number matched Schutte’s and the phone number was verified for the account by SnapChat in 2022, the statement says.

The statement says Schutte allegedly posted child porn to his “private” SnapChat story.
