Excerpts:
A Douglas County sheriff's deputy was in jail on $55,000 bail Friday following an early morning arrest on charges of domestic battery against his wife, driving under the influence, burglary, and coercion... The burglary and coercion charges stemmed from an allegation that when the victim got into another vehicle to escape, Cypher followed with the intent to hit her and did strike her, according to reports.

"It's extremely stressful for the guys on the road when they have to take enforcement action on one of their own," Mezzetta said.
