SARASOTA (CBSMiami) – A Sarasota County deputy is under arrest, accused of quite the variety of crimes.

Investigators accuse Deputy Frankie Bybee first of selling an 83-year-old woman's dog on Craigslist and then using her debit card at multiple ATM's.

An internal affairs report also states another woman paid Bybee more than $100,000 over several years for sex.

Detectives say the married father of three eventually tried to kill the 83-year-old.

"Our investigation revealed that Bybee attempted to kill the victim and make it appear to be a suicide," Sheriff Tom Knight said.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office previously investigated Bybee five times and suspended him on multiple occasions.
