Brian Thomas Proffitt – Florence County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In March 2019, Deputy Brian Thomas Proffitt was terminated and arrested on charges of misconduct in office and second-degree assault and battery. Investigations revealed that on February 1, 2019, Proffitt knowingly omitted material information from an incident report, which could have implicated him in an assault he committed on a suspect during an arrest. He was released on a $5,000 bond. Additionally, Proffitt had been a defendant in a 2017 lawsuit alleging improper motives in a 2013 arrest and a subsequent cover-up by other members of the sheriff’s office.
