A Massachusetts sheriff's deputy is facing charges after he was pulled over in his vehicle and arrested last month following an incident involving another motorist.
Around 2:45 p.m. on July 29, a Barnstable County sheriff's deputy was pulled over by Massachusetts State Police on Route 28 in Bourne in response to a call from another motorist, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post Thursday. The deputy was arrested and has since been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and threats to commit a crime.
