A deputy's arrest has been announced by the sheriff's office. The individual in question, Jerry Shellhouse, faces charges including a felony count. He has been fired from his position.

The alleged misuse of a database is said to have occurred over a period of time, though the full extent of the situation is not clear. Further information is available from the source.

This arrest is not an isolated incident, as several other deputies have been accused of similar misconduct this year. The total number of such cases is at least four, with another individual, Cynthia Jodesty, having been arrested in June.
