FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Jason Carney, president and co-founder of nonprofit 2nd Milk, has been granted limited travel by a federal judge amid ongoing fraud charges.
U.S. District Judge Timothy L. Brooks approved Carney's request to travel June 7 to Cookson, Oklahoma, for a fishing tournament with his son and a July 11–12 trip to Table Rock Lake, Missouri, for another tournament, according to court documents. Both trips require Carney to return to the district the same day or following day.

However, the court denied Carney's requests for a June 18 daytrip to Cookson and a July 23–28 trip to Orlando, Florida, citing lack of detail and financial concerns. The judge noted Carney's sworn financial affidavit shows limited means and said the Florida trip's cost likely exceeds the family's budget.
Additional travel requests are expected for court review.
Carney faces 20 federal charges including wire fraud and falsifying tax returns related to alleged misuse of nonprofit funds. Trial is set for Sept. 2, 2025.
