Milwaukee County deputy sheriff under federal investigation

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke ordered a deputy sheriff be placed on administrative duty after learning the deputy is under federal investigation.

According to a new release issued on Saturday, February 6th, the deputy failed to advise the Sheriff’s Office of the pending investigation for more than two years.

The deputy is not being named at this time because no charge has yet been issued -- and it is still under investigation.
