WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ An Arizona sheriff's deputy facing a
criminal charge in North Dakota allegedly drove to West Fargo in
September and assaulted a man who had an affair with his wife.
Maricopa County Deputy Timothy Abrahamson was taken into custody
in Arizona on Wednesday on a North Dakota warrant for aggravated
assault. Court documents do not list an attorney for him.
West Fargo police issued a statement providing details of the
alleged assault. Authorities say the victim suffered a torn right
ear, and facial cuts, swelling and bruising.
Cass County prosecutors have granted immunity to another Maricopa County deputy who allegedly
rode to West Fargo with Abrahamson, in exchange for the second
deputy's testimony.
Abrahamson is on unpaid leave while he awaits extradition.
