  • Sutter deputy sheriff allegedly sold drugs (Published Oct 03, 1996) YUBA CITY -- The arrest of a Sutter County sheriff's deputy on suspicion of selling methamphetamines out of his patrol car has stunned his neighbors and co-workers and dismayed school and sheriff's officials. Early Tuesday morning, Sutter County narcotics officers arrested Maurice Reginald Taylor, 39, on charges of selling drugs to two undercover officers on two different nights while patrolling on the graveyard shift. The arrest of Taylor, a former assistant football coach at Yuba College and a single father, followed a two-week investigation which evolved out of tips from sources outside his department, Sutter County Sheriff Art Brandwood said. Brandwood said the arrest has buckled his deputies' morale. "We're like a family here, and this is like one of our own being disloyal to the rest of the family," said Brandwood. He said it's the first time he's been involved in "the arrest of one of my own" in 36 years in law enforcement. Brandwood said a search of Taylor's marked patrol car uncovered an ounce of marijuana. A small amount of methamphetamine was also found at his Yuba City apartment, he added. Taylor, who is charged with two counts of sale of narcotics and three counts of possession of a controlled substance, is scheduled to be arraigned in Sutter County Municipal Court Oct. 21. He was released from the Sutter County Jail Tuesday on $20,000 bail. Taylor did not return a call placed to his home by The Bee. Taylor has been placed on paid administrative leave pending completion of an internal investigation, in accordance with Sheriff's Department policy. Brandwood stressed that no other deputies are being investigated in the Taylor case.
