LUCAS COUNTY, OH (Toledo News Now) - A Lucas County Sheriff's deputy has been accused of working on the wrong side of the law.
According to court records, Paul Little gave his department-issued gun to a known felon, Kenneth Rodgers, earlier this month.
It's unclear at this time why Little allegedly handed the gun over, but it turns out Rodgers is a paid informant for the sheriff's office, and he immediately notified officials.
Little has been accused of filing a police report saying his gun was stolen, as well as allegedly threatening to kill Rodgers after he discovered he was an informant. Court documents also show Rodgers has taken out a protection order against Little.
Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp says Little is on paid administrative leave, pending an internal investigation.
A full hearing is scheduled for June 3.
