Ed Troyer faces one count false reporting, one count false or misleading statement to a public servant

 

SEATTLE โ€” Today the Washington Attorney General submitted charging documents filing misdemeanor charges against Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer. Troyer is charged with one count of false reporting, and one count of making a false or misleading statement to a public servant. Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed these charges in Pierce County District Court.

 

If convicted, the standard sentencing range for both offenses, with no prior criminal history, is up to 364 days in jail and up to a $5,000 fine.

 

On April 24, Gov. Jay Inslee referred a criminal investigation to the Attorney Generalโ€™s Office related to Troyerโ€™s conduct on Jan. 27, 2021. The Attorney Generalโ€™s Office does not have authority to initiate criminal investigations, unless it receives and accepts a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor.
