SARASOTA COUNTY, FL (WFLA) – An 18-year veteran of the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has been arrested on numerous charges, including attempted murder.
Sheriff Knight said allegations that Frankie Eugene Bybee,46, was harassing a 79-year old woman led to an investigation into the deputies actions.
Sheriff Knight asserted Bybee took care of the elderly woman’s dog, visited her in the hospital and introduced her to his family – all in an effort to gain her trust.
The initial reports began on December 20, 2016, with the woman claiming the deputy was supposed to be watching her dog while she was ill and in the hospital. Instead, the deputy is accused of selling the dog on Craigslist, stealing checks from the victim’s house and writing them to himself and his children in the amount of $65-thousand.
According to arrest affidavits, on January 9, four checks were written to Deputy Bybee in the victim’s name. Investigators say the former deputy is accused of stealing checks from the victim’s house and writing them to himself and his children in the amount of $65-thousand.
Three days later, on January 12, the victim told officials Bybee entered her home through an unlocked door. The victim said Bybee was dressed in dark clothes and wearing latex gloves.
