New hires with the department are on probation for one year.
“We were made aware of a posting on the internet making allegations against one of our employees,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said today. “A preliminary investigation has been initiated and based on early findings he has been suspended until the investigation is complete. But, in the future, it would be helpful if anyone who has complaints of criminality that they be brought to us rather than posted and left to chance.”
