John Sheeran, Troyer’s attorney, released the following statement:
"Sheriff Troyer did nothing to warrant the court entering an anti-harassment order and the Attorney General’s motion is nothing more than a publicity stunt designed to smear the good reputation of a man who has spent 37 years working to protect the public. Sheriff Troyer has been recognized with a Medal of Merit five times in his career as well as a Lifesaving Award, and two patrol Impact Awards.
"The only interaction Sheriff Troyer has had with Sedrick Altheimer since January 2021 was when Sheriff Troyer was checking on his 84-year-old father in the early hours one morning in April 2022.
