Fairfax Co. sheriff’s deputy charged
with sexually assaulting inmate
FAIRFAX,
Va. (AP) — A Fairfax County sheriff’s deputy with a history of involvement in
fatal incidents has been charged with sexually assaulting an inmate in his
custody.
Fairfax
City Police say 45-year-old Patrick D. McPartlin of Warrenton was arrested
Tuesday and charged with object sexual penetration.
Police
say McPartlin was taking a female inmate from the Fairfax County jail to the
Loudoun County jail when the assault occurred in the county-owned vehicle
issued to McPartlin.
Online
court records do not list an attorney for McPartlin, who is being held without
bond.
McPartlin
has worked at the sheriff’s office for more than 20 years. In 2016, he fatally
shot a hospital patient who was having a mental episode and wielding a metal
sign post outside Inova Fairfax Hospital.
He
was also part of a team of deputies in 2015 that used multiple shots from a
stun gun to restrain another mentally ill inmate. Natasha McKenna died after
receiving four Taser shots during a 15-minute struggle.
The
Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office declined to comment, referring questions to
Fairfax City Police.
