FRANKLIN COUNTY, Mo. — The Franklin County deputy accused of spraying pepper mace on a pizza and then offering it to inmates has turned in his resignation.
The Missourian reports that the deputy turned in his resignation before his disciplinary hearing, according to Sheriff Gary Toelke. The deputy’s name will not be released.
“Deputies are allowed time, normally three days, to prepare for their hearing,” Toelke said. “They can submit a resignation notice during that time period if they choose to do so.”
