Group pushes to have Pierce County Sheriff added to Brady list

The Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office told 成人X站 Radio that its impeachment committee met on Friday, and arrived at the determination that “Sheriff Troyer will be added to the list of recurring witnesses with potential impeachment information.”

Known more formally as , it鈥檚 used by prosecutors to identify officers with a history of dishonest or problematic behavior that could potentially compromise their testimony in court.

Troyer 鈥 who pleaded not guilty to a pair of misdemeanor charges on Friday 鈥 called the police on Black newspaper carrier Sedrick Altheimer around 2 a.m. on Jan. 27, describing him to the dispatcher as 鈥渉omeless-looking,鈥 and 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

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

In a letter addressed to Robnett, the group claimed that Troyer鈥檚 鈥渋ntegrity as a law enforcement agent should not be trusted,鈥 and that the January incident 鈥渃alls into question any past or future statements鈥 made by Troyer in court.
