In Grand County, a Sheriff’s deputy is facing charges of assault and false imprisonment, due to an incident on the job there over the summer…
(Grand Co Deputy Trouble vxr :35)
The sheriff’s office there isn’t sharing the specifics of the allegations against deputy Dustin Barbee, only describing them as, in these words, “extremely serious.” They say it has to do with something that happened during a call about an unwanted person at a home in Grand Lake, back on August 20th. The Sheriff’s Office says Barbee and another deputy arrested a woman at that house, after some kind of “altercation.” Supervisors were concerned enough to launch an investigation 2 days later. The sheriff’s office now says the local DA is charging Barbee with 3rd-degree assault, false imprisonment, official oppression, and misconduct. The other deputy is on unpaid leave, while the DA further investigates just what happened.
