A deputy in the Florida Keys was arrested on a battery charge following an incident at a Key West bar early Monday, officials said.
Deputy Jesus Abdiel Rojas Burgos, 28, was arrested by Key West Police on a misdemeanor battery charge, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office officials said.
Burgos was at the Rick’s Bar/Durty Harry’s on Duval Street at around 1 a.m. when he touched or grabbed the female victim against her will, police said.
Burgos, who was hired by the sheriff’s office as a deputy in April 2023, was booked into jail.
“I take these incidents very seriously, will investigate this matter fully, and take the appropriate action,” Monroe Sheriff Rick Ramsay said in a statement. “I am committed to keeping this community informed of significant events that occur in this agency — good or bad.”
