Federal authorities arrested a Dallas County sheriff's deputy while he was on patrol duty Friday afternoon. Neither the FBI nor the U.S. attorney's office would say why Standric Choice, 36, was arrested, citing an ongoing investigation. He was being held at the Mansfield Law Enforcement Center, which also houses federal prisoners, but officials there would not release details on his case.
Kim Leach, spokeswoman for the Dallas sheriff, would not talk about the case in detail but released a statement: "The sheriff's department will not tolerate any misconduct or illegal activity from anyone in our department. If an employee is found to be engaged in any criminal activity, or violation of departmental code of conduct policies they will be dealt with accordingly. We take any violation seriously and will act swiftly to take action."
Choice began working for the Dallas County sheriff's office as a jailer in the 1990s and became a deputy in 2000, county officials said.
