It happened around noon on Friday as the deputy was traveling near downtown at Western Avenue and Water Street when he swerved to miss an oncoming car, according to eyewitnesses.

“A lady decided it was a good idea to go around a stopped car in the turn lane and turn instead of waiting her turn and made a sheriff swerve to miss and ended up sliding into our apartment, destroying our bathroom,” the homeowner said.
