MERIDIAN (KIVI) — A former Boise County sheriff’s deputy is being held on $500,000 bail after being charged with three felonies.

Meridian police arrested Bryce Cole on Thursday. He is currently facing charges for felony aggravated assault, first-degree stalking and attempted strangulation.

According to an August 2021 Facebook post by the Boise County Sheriff’s Office, Cole became a deputy with the department in 2020 after working as a former dispatcher and ambulance volunteer.

Boise County Sheriff Scott Turner tells Idaho News 6 that Cole was on administrative leave at the time of the arrest and is no longer employed by the department.

Cole was arraigned on Friday, where the judge set his bail at $500,000. The judge has also issued a no-contact order.

His preliminary hearing is set for 8:30 a.m. on May 28.
