Troyer is charged with false and misleading reporting that a newspaper delivery driver threatened to kill him.
Prosecutors told the jury Sedrick Altheimer never said he’d harm Troyer. Also, the sheriff initiated a police response that wasn’t needed.“When Sheriff Troyer lied to 911 that night, he put himself above everyone else,” the prosecution said today in court.
The defense countered that Sedrick Altheimer told the Sheriff “he’d take him out,” and that Troyer didn’t lie. “Mr. Altheimer, in terms of his credibility, he said guns were pointed toward him. They weren’t,” said Anne Bremner, Troyer’s attorney. “Why would Sheriff Troyer make this up? Think about it. Why would Sheriff Troyer? Why?”Have a tip on a crime story? Message Darren Dedo on
