YAKIMA, Wash. -- A Yakima County sheriff's sergeant could be disciplined for allegedly refusing to help a Selah police officer who was involved in the rape arrest of Deputy Sean Moore.

Sheriff Ken Irwin confirmed Monday that he ordered an internal investigation into the actions of veteran Sgt. George Town after receiving a complaint about Town from Selah police Chief Stacy Dwarshuis earlier this month.

According to a memo obtained by the Yakima Herald-Republic, Dwarshuis complained that Town had refused to assist Selah police Officer Rich Brumley on a minor theft case. Brumley was part of the arrest last month of Deputy Sean Moore, a friend and colleague of Town's.

The memo is just the latest evidence of tension within the local law enforcement community since Moore's arrest last month. Some officers have complained the deputy received special visitation privileges at the county jail shortly after his arrest.

Moore, 37, is accused of breaking into the home of a Selah woman that he knew and, while on duty and in uniform earlier the same day, Oct. 24, threatening her male friend at gunpoint. In a court appearance last week, he pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of rape and assault.
