VSO opened an internal affairs inquiry following the arrest, which remains open until the result of the criminal case.
The sergeant’s on-duty driving privileges were suspended, and he was removed of all law enforcement duties, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
“While a member of law enforcement is entitled to the same due process rights as anyone else, we are sharing this arrest because we recognize law enforcement officers must be held to a higher standard than the general public,” VSO stated.
Sgt. Edgecomb was hired in 2006 and has had no previous incidences of this sort.
