A patrol sergeant with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is on leave as a criminal case against him makes its way through the Douglas County Circuit Court.
Matthew Wayne DeRosia, 47, of Superior is facing misdemeanor counts of domestic disorderly conduction and contact after a domestic abuse arrest. Charges were filed Jan. 6.
DeRosia reportedly came to the victim’s residence extremely drunk and began throwing items around, punching things and yelling at the victim, according to the complaint. While the victim was driving DeRosia to another location, he reportedly began swearing, calling the person names, banging on the steering wheel and punching the dashboard until the victim stopped the car and asked him to leave.
