A Monroe County sheriff’s deputy charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend with a handgun in March, will be arraigned in circuit court next month.

Orval (O.P.) Parker, 45, a 20-year veteran of the sheriff’s department, appeared in 34th District Court in Romulus before Judge Tina Brooks-Green on Wednesday and waived his right to a preliminary examination on the charge against him.
His circuit court arraignment in Monroe has been set for June 16.

Deputy Parker was charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony, in mid-March. The charge stems from an incident on March 11 at his home.

According to the state police investigators, Deputy Parker pointed a handgun at his ex-girlfriend during an argument and ordered her out of the house.

A special prosecutor from Washtenaw County reviewed the state police investigation and authorized the charge against him.

He remains on suspension from the sheriff’s department pending the outcome of the criminal charges. He is free on a $500 personal recognizance bond.

If convicted of the charge Deputy Parker could be sentenced to as many as four years in prison.
