Jon Held – Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Sheriff Jon Held faced multiple allegations of misconduct, including criminal charges in 2018 for allegedly forcing deputies to campaign for him while on county time. Additionally, Held was sued by military reservists who claimed they were discriminated against due to their military obligations, alleging that less-qualified individuals were promoted over them. These lawsuits accused Held and Chief Deputy Patricia Fritz of violating federal laws that prevent discrimination against employees because of military service.
