Former Pettis County deputy has child porn case moved to Cooper County

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A former Pettis County deputy who shot and killed a 25-year-old Sedalia woman in June 2020 had his child pornography case moved from Pettis County to Cooper County on Wednesday.
Jordan Schutte, 40, of Sedalia, is charged with child porn possession and first-degree promoting child porn. He is being held at the Miller County Jail on a $75,000 bond. A case review is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, April 13. He was indicted by a grand jury last week.
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.
