APOPKA, Fla. \u2013 An Orange County deputy who was arrested Friday in Apopka is accused of domestic violence, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Shawn Ellis faces a charge of battery, records show.<\/p>\n
In a news release, the sheriff\u2019s office said Shawn Ellis was hired in September 2024 and worked in the Uniform Patrol Division.<\/p>\n
Ellis has since been relieved of all law-enforcement duties and was reassigned to administrative duties pending the outcome of the criminal case, after which the sheriff\u2019s office will conduct its own internal investigation, the release states.<\/p>\n
\u201cDomestic violence has no place in our community or this agency. We will conduct a complete and transparent investigation into these allegations, and the results will be made public,\u201d Sheriff John Mina said in a statement. \u201cEvery deputy at the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office is held to the same laws they are sworn to enforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
