This is terrible not only for the two victims and their families, but the sheriff’s department lieutenant.
I didn’t think law enforcement officers were allowed to work security details were alcohol is served.
Am I wrong about that??
Does anyone out there know??

@Jim, explain how he tried to hide his accountability behind the badge? FHP conducted an investigation and found probable cause and a warrant was issued. And by no means am I defending anyone or any actions. Seems like you always have and ax to grind with law enforcement. And I guess any veteran was just gainful employed as well, right .

If a person hides behind a badge for any reason, they are a criminal, as well. LEOs have a Code of Ethics they work and live by. Shame on anyone who defies those morals. The same laws apply to anyone who breaks them. If this was this Deputy’s fault then he should be held accountable.

The fact he tried to hide his accountability behind the badge of immunity and those who support it only shows everyone his true character. His time in service just means he was gainfully employed but did little to show the real man .He tried to wiggle out with a hidden protection that he was using a county vehicle while employed in approved security off duty employment .Its not over. I hope the families takes every dime he has for their pain and needless suffering.

@ferek

He was a SGT with 30 years experience. He’s making great money for this area. Even his retirement will be upwards of 60k a year, or 80k if he contributed more than 3%.

Those side gigs are great money. Depends on which business, weekday and time, you can make up to $100 an hour for those side jobs. Trust me, most deputies are not hurting for money. Most of my friends that are county Leo’s (my family members are state leos), have a nice house, few cars, boats, motorcycles. Those side gigs pay for the toys.
