It has been a devastating year for career law enforcement officer, Sean Moore and his family. He went from a respected Deputy Sheriff enforcing the law to pleading guilty to breaking the law on rape burglary and assault charges. As the case against Moore neared a trial date the overwhelming evidence against him convinced the deputy his best course of action was a guilty plea. The jail is confirming Moore was checked-on every half-hour. Sometime between those checks, moore was found dead Saturday night. Sentencing was set for Sean Moore on june 6th. He was facing 14 years.
