When a Sheriff's Department employee gets arrested for domestic battery (and that's not because the car's battery was dead in the driveway at home), is that "news"?
Should there be a media release on the Sheriff's Department website due to the arrest activity by a deputy (or maybe by a Sergeant)? Should information be released to the media, just as it is for any other citizen's arrest?
Should the public be informed of the arrest of a law-enforcement "type" (wears badge, uniform; probably armed going to and coming from work)?
I thought last week's court date on November 28 might trigger media attention, but it didn't.
More information will follow tomorrow. An MCSD corrections officer was charged as of Thanksgiving Day, November 22, with domestic battery and spent the night in jail. He was advised of his rights on Friday morning, November 23.
An emergency Order of Protection (OP) was granted to his wife on November 26. Typically, OPs require firearms to be surrendered. This would mean that the employee would be unable to arm himself, as might be required by his employment during commuting times.
What is the policy when an employee gets arrested for a criminal offense? Are such employees placed on administrative leave, while the pieces get sorted out and the case moves through court?
You never know who is interested…

I think that the law of the land is still "Inocent Until PROVEN Guilty", no matter who the defendant is, correct?
