The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office has arrested one of its own.
According to the office, Deputy Brian Lynch has been arrested for Criminal Mischief and Official Misconduct.
The office was contacted late Thursday morning about alleged misconduct involving Lynch and an acquaintance he met during an investigation while working as a road patrol deputy. An investigation by Sheriff Detectives determined he had engaged in conduct against the office’s standards and that there was probable cause for arrest.
Lynch was arraigned and jailed before being re-arraigned and released pre-trial.
He has also been suspended for 30 days pending an internal investigation.
