Sheriff’s Deputy Gets Probation in Assault Case
A Delta County Sheriff’s Deputy who pleaded no contest to attacking a man last summer while off duty will spend 6 months on probation.
48-year-old Brian Lauscher of Gladstone has also been given a delay of sentence.
If he completes his probation without further incident, the misdemeanor assault and battery charge against him will be dropped.
Back in June, he attacked 43-year-old Ron Beauchamp of Wells at a Gladstone home.
Beauchamp suffered facial injuries and 2 broken ribs.
Lauscher has been suspended from his job without pay.
His future will be up to a review of the case with a special prosecutor.
He’s also gone through an alcohol-related assessment.
