they arrested Deputy Peter Peraza for shooting an armed individual. The Union has stood behind these three Deputies from day one and we will continue to do so. In addition to facing criminal charges, the Deputies have been placed on a non-paid status. The Union wishes the Sheriff would back his own Deputies half as much as the Union has and keep them on a paid status while the criminal charges play out. If our newly appointed Sheriff would spend less time trying to be a politician and more time learning how to be a Sheriff, we could have resolved this situation today with a different outcome.
