Orange County Deputy Sheriff Richard Cain submitted his letter of resignation on May 18, and will not appeal the discipline he was given following a Professional Standards investigation into allegations that he did not properly investigate a citizen’s tip relating to the Caylee Anthony investigation, according to a statement by the Sheriff’s Office.
Furthermore, the Sheriff’s Office statement said that, ” The Professional Standards Investigation determined that Deputy Cain had violated two of the agency’s standards of conduct, Unsatisfactory Performance (for which he was given a 160 hour suspension) and Truthfulness (for which he was terminated). Deputy Sheriff Cain had formally appealed the findings of the agency’s internal review and the discipline he was awarded as a result of those findings. The appeal hearing, which was set for May 19, has been cancelled.”
Deputy Cain joined the Sheriff’s Office on June 6, 2006 and was assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division. He has been assigned to non-enforcement duties in the agency’s Supply Unit pending the outcome of his investigation.
