– A Comal County Sheriff’s Office sergeant and deputy lost their jobs earlier this year after failing to disclose to their administration that they had been involved in a sexual relationship, personnel records obtained bySgt. Kellie Metz, a nearly six-year veteran of CCSO, was terminated on January 19 for rules violations including professional conduct, employee fraternization and use of body-worn cameras.
In May 2022, a suspect identified as David Brakhage told deputies he had thrown a rock at the windshield of Byrne’s patrol vehicle while it was parked near Metz’s patrol vehicle after “he heard moaning sounds like sexual gratification coming from the area of the patrol units,” CCSO records show. A man later arrested for criminal mischief said he heard moaning sounds like sexual gratification coming from the area of Metz and Byrne's patrol vehicles.
Metz, while being questioned by IA, did admit that she and Byrne were intimate at her residence twice between October and November 2020. The off-duty sexual encounters took place while Metz was in a supervisory capacity and just months after Byrne joined the agency, according to his LinkedIn page and state law enforcement records.
“He’s gone on tape and he’s pointing the finger straight at you. This is just a sad state of affairs,” the investigator told Metz on Jan. 4.
