Jail records show Deputy Terrance Dion Chester, 28, was arrested on charges of kidnapping while inflicting bodily harm or terrorizing a victim, battery/domestic violence and improper exhibit of a firearm or dangerous weapon.
MDSO confirmed to Local 10 News that Chester is a deputy who has been with their agency for five years.
“I am deeply troubled and angered by the arrest of one of my deputies on serious domestic related charges,” Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said in a statement. “This conduct is completely unacceptable and stands in direct violation of our values and the law. I want to make it absolutely clear; no one is above the law! The safety and wellbeing of victims will always take priority, and any member of this agency who violates the trust of this community or their oath of service will be held fully accountable. The deputy is currently relieved of duty. There is no place for violence in this profession or in our homes.”
Local 10 News has requested his arrest report from BSO.
As of Thursday afternoon, Chester was being held at the Broward County Main Jail with no bond listed.
