The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office sent out a news release Friday in reference to an individual trying to greet a deputy the “wrong way.”

According to the department on the evening of Oct. 7 the Chillicothe Police Department responded to an apartment complex regarding a suspicious man in the building searching for a specific off-duty Livingston County Deputy Sheriff.

“The man reportedly was claiming he, ‘Has a score to settle’ with our deputy,” the office said.

The man was described as a white male wearing a camo shirt and jeans and in his 40s to 50s.

Fortunately our deputy was not home at the time and the individual left when he could not locate the deputy,” the office said.

The Sheriff’s Office said it’s not asking the public for tips in locating the individual in the investigation.

“We advise anyone this is NOT the method to contact any law enforcement officer of any agency,” the Office said. “If you have a complaint about an employee of the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office you are encouraged to contact Sheriff Steve Cox or Chief Deputy Michael Claypole at 660-646-0515 or through dispatch at 660-646-2121.”
