. The sheriff was accused of falsely reporting that a newspaper carrier was threatening to kill him during an incident in January 2021. During closing arguments, Anne Bremner, Troyer’s defense attorney, said Troyer has consistently told his truth about the day in question.
"On January 27, Sheriff Troyer weaponized the police force to settle a personal petty score with a man who didn’t treat him the deference and the respect that he felt he deserved," said Tratnik., when he said Troyer began following him. Troyer’s attorneys said Altheimer was the aggressor, claiming he threatened the sheriff. Troyer testified it looked like Altheimer, "was ready to fight," and he never mentioned he was a paper carrier.
"When Sheriff Troyer lied to 911 that night, he put himself over everyone else. Above the needs of every officer who rushed to the scene, above the needs of a community that has the same rights to have its officers available to them as Sheriff Troyer does, and above the needs of Mr. Altheimer and others who are trying to go about their business without fear and intimidation," said Tratnik.
