Ross County Deputy Resigns Following OVI Arrest

rosssheriff.com

The administrative investigation against Ross County Sheriff's Sergeant Brett McKnight has been halted after he resigned following his arrest.  McKnight was pulled over while off-duty earlier this week and arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence.  A lawsuit against the sheriff's office and McKnight will continue.   McKnight was placed on administrative leave after the sheriff's office says he accidentally shot and killed a woman during a drug raid in 2013.
