Two off-duty deputies were arrested on suspicion of public intoxication after a fight in a Ramona bar over the weekend, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday.About 8 p.m. Saturday, deputies responded to reports of a fight in a bar on Main Street near Sixth Street, the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.Witnesses told deputies an argument between a group of patrons had escalated into a physical fight, officials said.
Heath and Kobs were booked into the Vista jail on suspicion of public intoxication, the department said. They were released on their own recognizance about 5 a.m. Sunday. “This type of incident is disappointing and was handled appropriately by responding deputies,” the statement read.Heath has been with the department since 2012 and is assigned to the Vista Sheriff’s Station, officials said. Kobs has been with the department since 2005 and is assigned to the Special Enforcement Detail.The department declined to comment on the specifics of the internal investigation, citing California state law preventing the disclosure of personnel records for peace officers.
In January, the department arrested a deputy they suspected had taken prescription drugs from a drop box in a sheriff’s station. Deputy Cory Richey, 39, pleaded not guilty in San Diego Superior Court to burglary and drug possession charges. During Richey’s arraignment Jan. 10, Deputy District Attorney Cal Logan said the deputy accessed a patrol station after hours on several occasions and took medications from a box where people can dispose of prescription drugs.
