Frantz has been an employee with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office since January 2019, Frye said.

“During his employment, Frantz has been an exceptional employee and has served as a Corrections Officer, Deputy assigned to the hospital and his current duties as assistant Deputy dog warden,” the media release states.

Frantz has been “relieved of his duties” and placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the case.

He is set to appear in Sidney Municipal Court on Tuesday.
