Former Sarasota County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Bybee has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
A Charlotte County judge on Thursday handed down the sentence for the now-disgraced former deputy.
Bybee was given 15 years behind bars, 10 years of supervise release (parole), and 500 hours of community service for kidnapping. He was also sentenced to 15 years in prison for exploitation of the elderly, which will be served concurrently.
Mason also said that Bybee’s actions were “incomprehensible” to him and that Bybee would “forever be known as a bad cop.”
