Deputy Indicted in Teen Abuse Incident

A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy, Bryan Lassley, faces felony charges of aggravated battery and child abuse after shocking lapel-camera footage surfaced showing him violently shoving a 16-year-old girl and slamming her into a patrol car. Indicted last Monday, Lassley is set for arraignment on June 15th and now faces unpaid administrative leave. Sheriff John Allen condemned the incident, emphasizing the high standards expected of deputies, while an internal investigation pauses pending the outcome of the criminal case. This isn’t Lassley’s first controversy—he was also involved in a fatal crash last year, though no charges were filed. The department’s internal probe will resume once the criminal proceedings conclude, determining his future with the force. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
