LARGO, Fla. - A Pinellas County Sheriff s Office deputy has been terminated after the agency said he sent inappropriate text messages to two women he met during investigations.
The sheriff s office began investigating Deputy Brian Overton after a woman filed a complaint in July 2020, saying she was receiving unsolicited and unwelcome text messages from the deputy, who she met during the death investigation of her father.
The woman said the first text messages were related to the investigation, but quickly transitioned to a personal conversation with some comments being sexual in nature.
