TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A deputy with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has been arrested and charged with battery, the department said on Friday.

Samantha Baiocco, 31, was in an altercation with her roommate on Oct. 8 when the argument turned physical and she shoved the victim, HCSO said.

Baiocco caused the victim minor injuries and was subsequently arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. Sheriff's office records indicated she bonded out of jail on Thursday.

HCSO said she has been with their department for around six months and had been assigned to a housing unit at the Falkenburg Road Jail. She has since been terminated by the sheriff's office.
