The Deputies saw no signs of phyiscal injuire to her , but she insisted and se made a citizens arrest from what i heard from a Department sporks person. Anyone can make a citzen arrests which forces a police officer to make an arrest. This puts the liablity on her if he is innocent because she made a citizen or private persons arrests. As a retired Deputy you have to advise people that when they make a citizens arrests they can be sued for false arrest. This case will not even get filed by the DA'S OFFICE due to lack of evidence but because he is a High Profile suspect it will get more attention.
He may get suspended by the league if anything and i doubt that if the case doesnt get filed. Any woman or man can call the police and file a criminal complaint that he or she assualted them.

Wait a minute!! I thought his career was an uncontrollable downward spiral and he is the next Rae Caruth...
