LOS SANTOS, SAN ANDREAS - Los Santos Sheriff's Department (LSSD) announced the arrest of Deputy Marcus Schafer (33) following the conclusion of an Internal Affairs criminal investigation. Deputy Schafer has been formally charged with '606. Perjury (B)' & '620. Corruption of Public Office'.
The investigation, launched earlier this September, revealed evidence of misconduct that damaged the integrity of the deputies sworn duties, undermined the public's trust & put the Sheriff's Department's reputation at jeopardy.
The Department received a public complaint on September 12 alleging criminal misconduct, neglect of duty and dishonesty. Deputy Schafer was placed on administrative leave on September 19. An arrest warrant was sent out and approved on September 24, having Deputy Schafer detained and interrogated on September 25, subsequently charged.
Sheriff Charles Nebeker said in a statement:
"The Department holds its deputies to the highest professional standard. When a deputy swears to protect and serve the public, that trust is sacred. Deputy Schafer's alleged actions represent a neglection of that trust. When one of our own fails to uphold our values, we will act swiftly and decisively to restore the public's trust. This arrest demonstrates our continued commitment to integrity and transparency."
Los Santos County District Attorney praised the department for bringing the case forward:
"People of Los Santos need assurance that misconduct is being rooted out. This arrest emphasises that no one is above the law."
The Sheriff's Department has pledged its full cooperation with the district attorney.
