In a rather disturbing development, a deputy sheriff in Marion County, Florida, has resigned after an investigation revealed inappropriate behavior with teenage girls.

The investigation centered on two incidents in which the deputy behaved in a way that concerned the two women.

A Marion County Sheriff's Office deputy has resigned amid his involvement in two separate incidents involving inappropriate contact with two girls, one of which is a teenager, according to disciplinary documents obtained by FOX 35 News. [Editor's note: other reports indicate that both girls were teenagers.]

Deputy Dylan Fruh submitted his resignation on Oct. 16 to Sheriff Billy Woods.

In the days leading up to his resignation, Fruh was at the center of two disciplinary investigations where he was found to be in violation of dereliction of duty, not activating his body-worn camera and using an information database for non-work-related searches, according to reports from the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

Throughout these investigations, Fruh was reprimanded to one- and three-day suspensions for each incident. He ultimately resigned four days after the second suspension.

The first incident involved a traffic stop in which he pulled over a 17-year-old girl. He followed the young female after getting her number.

Fruh conducted a traffic stop on a 17-year-old girl at 9000 NE Jacksonville Road at around 10 p.m. He asked for her driver's license and they discussed who owned the vehicle, which was the girl's father. Fruh then asked the girl where she was going, and she said she was on her way to McDonald's to meet a friend. They had just left a high school football game.

Fruh went back to his patrol car for about a minute before returning to the girl. He asked her for her phone number, and the girl asked him to clarify if he wanted her phone number or her father's. Fruh said he wanted hers, and she gave it to him.

In an interview with deputies during the investigation, the girl said she gave him her number "because he's a cop, and if a cop asks me to do something, then I'm going to do it." The report also noted this was the girl's first time being pulled over.

Fruh gave her a verbal warning, and then asked if he can accompany her to McDonald's to "get a nugget."

The girl later met up with one of her friends at a McDonald’s. While they were eating in the car, Fruh pulled up and parked three spaces away from them and texted her. "Ain't no way they forgot my mf ranch," he wrote.

The girl responded: "Who's this?"

Fruh responded, identifying himself.

At this point, the officer called her, but she did not answer. During an interview with the authorities, Fruh claimed he was going to ask if she or her friend had any ranch dressing. He also claimed the reason he went to the McDonald’s in the first place was because he was “hungry at the time” and that he was ‘community policing” to “show that cops are not bad and are willing to go out and do something with the community.”

In a particularly creepy moment, the report revealed Fruh’s search history on his company-issued phone which showed that he ran a search for “born in 2006,” which was the birth year of the girl he had stopped. By way of explanation, Fruh claimed he wanted to know her age because he was “curious.”

In the other incident, the officer approached another teen girl’s house under the guise of searching for individuals who might have been stuck in a swamp. He asked her if she had seen or heard any boys calling for help.

Fruh was looking for leads in the neighborhood. That's when his GPS pinged in front of a house, the investigation revealed. He knocked on the door and asked the girl who answered if she had seen or heard a few boys yelling for help. She said she didn't see anything, and Fruh said he should call the "precinct" if she saw anything. She said she would, and their conversation was over.

"I didn't have any information for him and didn't know what he was talking about," the girl told deputies in an interview.

A couple of hours later, the girl received a text message from Fruh saying, “You let me know if you see them.” He identified himself after she asked who the message was from. Since he had never asked for her phone number, she wondered how Fruh obtained it. “Girl, we got resources,” he responded, which made the girl feel uncomfortable. She later informed her parents, who advised her to stop communicating with the deputy because they feared he could be a “weirdo.”

In both of these cases, Fruh acted in ways that violated the Marion County Sheriff’s Office’s code of conduct. He faced a one-to-three-day suspension for each incident and was found guilty of dereliction of duty, not activating his body-worn camera, and using the department’s database for non-work related searches. This is what led to his eventual resignation.

At this point, it is not known whether Fruh engaged in criminal activity. But in this situation, the department did its job and made sure that a potentially dangerous individual was no longer allowed to patrol the streets in badge and uniform.
