CANTON — Stark County Sheriff Tim Swanson today fired a deputy who is accused of domestic violence. Swanson said Michael D. McCroskey, 34, can appeal his decision. “But, as of this morning, I gave him his letter, and he’s done,” he said. Swanson declined further comment. McCroskey has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor counts of domestic violence and unlawful restraint. The charges stem from a Dec. 5 incident in Jackson Township.
