Falls County Sheriff Ricky Scaman arrested on sexual assault, other charges
Falls County Sheriff Ricky Scaman was arrested Monday on charges including sexual assault and assault of a public servant, based on an investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Scaman, 48, was booked into Bell County Jail after the Texas Rangers arrested him on a second-degree felony charge of sexual assault and two third-degree felony charges of assault of a public servant.
A Falls County grand jury issued the five-count indictment, which was unsealed Monday and presented by the Texas Attorney General’s Office, which will prosecute the case. The indictment states Scaman sexually abused a female city of Marlin employee on Aug. 5.
The same victim also accused Scaman of making sexually harassing statements and of making unwelcome sexual advances or other verbal or physical contact in August, the indictment states. According to the indictment, victim claims Scaman grabbed her breasts or genitals, while he was “acting under color of his office as a public servant, namely Falls County sheriff.”

Scaman was fired from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and lost the Falls County sheriff’s race in 2012 after a photo surfaced of him posing with a stripper when he was a TABC agent.
And if anyone is wondering, Scaman is a Republican.
