Deputy Suspended After Arraignment For Attack On Ex-Girlfriend

MACOMB CO. (WWJ) - A Macomb County sheriff's deputy has been suspended without pay after accusations he stalked and attacked his ex-girlfriend and broke into her home.

Thirty-four-year-old Thomas Sauve was arraigned in Clinton Township District Court. He's free on a $20,000 personal bond and ordered him to wear a tether and stay at least 500 feet from the woman.

The deputy is also charged with using his position to access restricted law enforcement information for personal use.

Sauve's lawyer says his client has no criminal record.

Macomb County Sheriff Tony Wickersham says that Sauve is a 11- year veteran of the department who worked road patrol.

Sauve is now suspended without pay pending the results of an investigation.
