According to FOX11, Deputy Jim Devoe was arrested and booked on May 1 for child abuse. The Los Angeles Times reports the alleged victim is the deputy’s 5-year-old son.
ABC7 reports that Devoe was already on suspension at the time of his arrest for a “force incident and an allegation that he possessed illegal steroids.”
