A former Douglas County sheriff's deputy has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and domestic battery. At the same time Friday, a felony burglary charge and a misdemeanor stalking charge against 37-year-old Jason Cypher were dismissed. Cypher was ordered to stay out of the county at least until his sentencing December third and to have no contact with the victim, who works for the sheriff's office. Cypher was arrested September 14th on charges that he battered his wife and was driving drunk while off duty. He was expected to be released from jail after 35 days in custody... Cypher resigned September 25th after 15 years with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
