Deputy Sgt. Dennis Hofmann has been taken off of suspension, and returned to full duty with his gun, badge, car, and full police powers. At this time he is under indictment in Cecil County for sexually assaulting a female Deputy Sheriff. The arrest of Dennis was made by the MSP. Apparently the MSP lied to get the indictment. What's your take on this?

It can't be no other way. Where would you bet your money? Funny the reinstatement came after the election. What do you think? |

I dont know squat about the case Pete, but why cant it be as simple as "innocent before proven guilty?"

My friends, When ever a law enforcement officer is indicted for a serious crime he is suspended without pay. If found innocent he is reinstated with back pay. No law enforcement agency in the country would hire a person under indictment for a serious crime, and this a first for reinstating a cop who is under a serious indictment. What makes this case different?

We don't know and we won't until the facts come out at the trial. Let's wait for the facts this time.

First I would question Pete's assertion that he is back to full duty. Could be true but I won't believe it without further proof. And even if it is true, there are many reasons it could be true. Maybe the charges were dropped. Maybe the victim recanted. Maybe the victim just did not want the case to go forward. Maybe the State's Attorney decided there was not enough evidence to prosecute and dropped the case. But to automatically decide that the MSP lied is ludicrous.

Maybe the Deputy stopped taking Pete's advise. Pete let it rest and wait for the courts decision. Find something else to whine about! |

Pete, the sheriff's brother has NOT been indicted. He has been charged with a misdemeanor charge of inappropriate touching, etc. and has yet to have a trial. No trial, no indictment. Further, the MSP did NOT arrest him, maybe they served him papers, but I hear he and his lawyer voluntarily appeared in Cecil county after being made aware of the charges. Additionally, I am surprised that you have revealed the young lady's name here. The paper withheld it.

Interesting though that Hofmann was suspended prior to the election and put back to duty after the election?? Yes, innocent until proven guilty, but this is a POLICE OFFICER that has been charged. Sheriff is setting some bad precedence here in my opinion, especially after he stated so strongly his nontolerance of another officer knocking down his campaign sign.

typical deputy eileen........Definition of indictment = In the common law legal system, an indictment is a formal accusation that a person has committed a crime........The young ladies name is public record, and she is known to be a respectable person. She is definitely not the street walking lady of the night that members of the Sheriff's Office are portraying her to be.

Pete, you did not post the entire definition of the word indictment. Had you done so, the word trial would have appeared there. Additionally, if I read your post correctly, I am not now nor have I ever been in law enforcement. I have a great deal of respect for most of those that are, but am not in that field.

Pete, how about a time out on this issue until the trial is over or the charges are dropped. Either way, the only real facts/evidence in this case are contained in a states attorney case folder which none of us are privilege too. The purpose of this forum is not to indict people or to spread unsubstantiated rumors. Now you have people like bigtractor and others buying into this crap. Let a man have his day in court.

Are you sure it isn't about a guy with a grudge trying extract some level of revenge before all the facts are known? Are you lying to us? ........ When my home was burglarized, and vandalized to the tune of $22,000.00, Dep. Dennis Hoffman pointed out my neighbors as the culprits, and did nothing about it. When I exercised my 1st amendment right to free speech due to Nazi tactics use against my family by elected officials, the promoted to Sergeant Dep. Dennis Hoffman illegally towed my car from the public street, and had it crushed into scrap metal. .... Are you truly familiar with code of conduct of every department in the country? Your post implies that you are. Are you lying to us? Can we PLEASE give this a rest until we ALL know the facts?! |

See yesterday's Star Democrat about this subject. The brother has been reinstated on administrative duty to free up other deputies to work the street. Both the brother and the young lady in question are out on paid leave - county can't hire anyone to replace them at this point.

falgar25.......The answer to your accusations is NO.
eileen....Government workers are getting furloughed while deputies are off with paid leave due to criminal sexual charges. What do you think the total cost to the tax payers will be when the smoke clears?

What do you think the total cost to the tax payers will be when the smoke clears? Chances are if the accused did not have the name "Hofmann" or if you were not advising/coaching the victim you probably wouldn't give a d**n. Leave it alone Pete. Find something else to entertain us with. Go buy yourself some manpons and relax. |
