Jefferson Co Deputy Jailed In Iowa

(KAIR)--A Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy is facing numerous charges following his Thursday morning arrest in Polk County, Iowa.

According to a news release issued by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, 30-year-old David Schmitt, of Meriden, was taken into custody on charges including aggravated battery, disorderly conduct, two counts of aggravated endangering a child, two counts of intimidation of a witness or victim, and two counts of aggravated assault.

The alleged crimes are related to an April 13, 2016 domestic violence incident, along with what the KBI calls “other alleged conduct,” while Schmitt was free on bond following his initial arrest on April 15 of last year.

Schmitt was not formally charged following his initial arrest for domestic battery, and since then has remained on administrative leave from the Sheriff’s Office.

 Following his arrest Thursday, Schmitt was booked into the Polk County Jail where he awaits extradition to Kansas.
