Trial for Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer faces delay over possible COVID case
Jury selection in the trial of Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer has been put on hold after his attorney said Troyer tested positive for COVID.
The nurse who administered Troyer’s two COVID tests took the stand Monday, telling the court that the sheriff’s first test was positive and the second was negative.
The judge has now ordered Troyer to take a PCR test. It could take up to two days for the results of that test to come back, which could push Monday’s jury selection back until next week after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Troyer is accused of calling 911 to report that Sedrick Altheimer, a Black newspaper carrier, threatened to kill him in January 2021.
