Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputy Arrested, Fired
February 22, 2012
An Escambia County deputy was arrested and later fired after a weekend disturbance at a Pensacola Beach bar.
Christopher Allen Trusler, 32, was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer, trespassing, resisting arrest without violence and disorderly intoxication.
Deputies were called to escort Trusler out of Captain Fun’s Beach Bar where he reportedly caused a disturbance with several bar patrons and employees. According to an arrest report, Trusler continued to cause a disturbance after deputies arrived.
Trusler’s blood alcohol level at the time of the incident was a .239, according to his arrest report. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $2,000 bond.
Trusler was in probationary status with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, having been employed as a patrol deputy for about eight months. He was fired over the incident, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

According to the story, he was a deputy when arrested, thus the public record exemption.
Also per the story, he was in a probationary status (1st year employee), which is why he was fired vs administrative leave status. He was not on any “cut list”.
He must have been already been on the cut list or else he would have been placed on paid administrative leave instead until convicted.
>>On in this case, a former law enforcement officer?
I know that it applies to former as in retired or career change, but not sure about fired.
REGARDING:
“Under Florida law, mugshots of law enforcement officers and their family members are not public record.”
On in this case, a former law enforcement officer?
David wondering if the law still applies
since he seems to be out of the brotherhood
First of all, yes he is a L.E.O but, you have to remember that he puts his pants on just like
the rest of us.Granite he
carries a star he’s normal
he’s not invincibile to a mis.
or definatly a felony. He believed he was untouchable.
Obviously we have to keep them safe from what ever showing their pictures might bring down on them.
Obviously we don’t see the need to protect any other criminals from this same
plight.
What is the logic of law, in not making the mugshots public record. Is there a reason?
>>i wonder why his photo not shown each and every other criminal photo be show when they break the law
Under Florida law, mugshots of law enforcement officers and their family members are not public record. There is no mugshot available for us to use for that reason.
i wonder why his photo not shown each and every other criminal photo be show when they break the law ooooh wrong question…..
AND an embarrassment to ALL officers who stand tall with their backs
against the wall and make sure THEY live the ROLE MODEL LIFE.
I hope when this officer is googled a year from now. we don’t find
he has just been passed on to another County or State and in trusted
with another gun and badge.
Sure bet this law enforcement officer is feeling a little stupid about now. After all, arresting others for this same offense, is now an embarrasement for him…..
