MOUNT DORA, Fla.
Mount Dora Police officers have arrested an Orange County deputy for domestic battery. Alan Brooks, 24, a two-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Office and son-in-law of Sheriff Kevin Beary, was arrested on Saturday morning after a 911 call was placed by Beary's daughter.
Following his arrest, Brooks was transported to the Lake County Jail and placed under a no bond status. Brooks has been relieved of duty and reassigned as a result of his arrest.
"As a father, I am obviously thankful that my daughter and son-in-law are well, and I pray that whatever led up to this incident is something that can be worked out," said Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary.
"Domestic violence and the tremendous impact it has on its victims, families and the loved ones close to those involved has always been a matter of great personal concern to me. When something like this hits so close to home, it takes the life right out of you," Beary added.
The incident leading to his arrest will be reviewed by the Orange County Sheriff's Office Professional Standards Division upon completion of a criminal investigation by the Mount Dora Police.

I think it's fair to say that it IS up to our law enforcement officers to set an example for how citizens should act, especially considering that they are they are the driving force that keeps our comunities safe. I DO NOT however think it is a good idea to, for one, judge someone you don't know when you don't have all the facts, and for two, just bacuse a woman claims to have been batttered/absued does NOT mean that they truely were. With that said, everyone is human and we all make mistakes, and considering the fact that Mr. Brooks resinged from his post as deputy and was not RELIEVED of it would say something about the fact that judgements shouldbe made based on FACT and not emotion.
