Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell described the deputy as 'a rogue individual that acted outside the scope of his authority.'
An Illinois sheriff whose former deputy fatally shot Sonya Massey last month inside her Springfield home told CBS News Thursday that not only had the deputy received training, but he had specifically received extra training to learn how to avoid the use of unwarranted lethal force. 'This was a rogue individual that acted outside the scope of his authority,' Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell said of his former Deputy Sean Grayson.
Sometimes they make the situation worse.'Grayson, who has since been fired by the sheriff's office, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. CBS News has learned that Grayson had a history of disciplinary issues at other law enforcement agencies, including allegations he put false information in his police reports and once disobeyed a command to end a high-speed chase.
