Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer pleaded not guilty to two criminal misdemeanor charges on Friday, stemming from a January confrontation with a newspaper delivery driver.

The charges — one count of false reporting, and one count of making a false or misleading statement to a public servant — were filed against Troyer by state Attorney General Bob Ferguson . If he’s convicted, he could face up to a year in jail and up to a $5,000 fine.

Speaking to 成人X站 Radio, Troyer’s attorney John Sheeran said they “look forward to a jury hearing all of the evidence and exonerating him.”

The incident in question occurred around 2 a.m. on January 27, after Troyer called the police on Black newspaper carrier Sedrick Altheimer. Troyer described him to the dispatcher as 鈥渉omeless-looking,鈥� saying on three separate occasions that Altheimer had 鈥渢hreatened to kill鈥� him.

Troyer later amended his story to officers at the scene to say that Altheimer had 鈥渘ever threatened him,鈥� before clarifying his statement again the following day to allege that Altheimer told him he was 鈥済oing to take (him) out.鈥�

An independent, non-criminal investigation聽commissioned by the Pierce County Council and led by former Trump-appointed U.S. District Attorney Brian Moran was unable to substantiate that Troyer had been threatened. It also found that 鈥渁 reasonable person could conclude that Sheriff Troyer exhibited an improper bias in his confrontation with Mr. Altheimer.鈥�
