ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE

August 20, 2008 Chain of Command

Interoffice Memorandum

TO: VIA: FROM:

Chief Frank Fabrizio Uniform Patrol Division

Commander Matthew J. Irwin CID/Sex Crimes Unit

SUBJECT: Deputy Anthony Rusciano

During the course of a criminal investigation being conducted by Sergeant John Allen and Corporal Yuri Melich, information was learned that Deputy Anthony Rusciano may know the target of the investigation. When the investigators contacted Deputy Rusciano by telephone, Deputy Rusciano admitted that he had met the individual for a very brief moment at a pa rty they both attended. Deputy Rusciano denied ever having any further contact with that person. The matter was then abandoned as an investigative lead. On August 18th, 2008, subsequent to a forensic analysis of the target's computer it became apparent that Deputy Rusciano's earlier statement was incomplete concerning his knowledge of the investigation's target. Deputy Rusciano was then contacted by the investigators and requested to respond to CID, which he did. Again, investigators asked him to clarify his relationship with the target of the ongoing investigation and again Deputy Rusciano provided inaccurate and incomplete responses. Ultimately, the investigators confronted Deputy Rusciano with the evidence recovered from the computer examination which led Deputy Rusciano to admit he had lied to the investigators.
