On August 28, 2019, Maroney was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. He pleaded not guilty.[4] His case has been continued four times, most recently in October 2020 after the circuit court considered a request for a special prosecutor due to an alleged conflict of interest by Marshall County Prosecuting Attorney Rhonda Wade. The charges were dismissed in March 2021.[5] He also briefly faced several misdemeanor charges related to the use of 'Doctor' on campaign signs, although those charges were quickly dismissed.[6]
