Alameda County sheriff’s deputy, already facing serious legal trouble, arrested in drunken boat fight

preview

By and | Bay Area News GroupALAMEDA — A sheriff’s deputy and former Marine charged last year with sending sexual text messages to a 15-year-old girl was arrested Saturday after hitting a man during a drunken altercation, Alameda city police said Monday.Alameda County Deputy Jason Deitschman, 49, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and public intoxication, Alameda police Lt. Hosh Durani said. The victim told police Deitschman had met him to discuss buying his boat, but ended up hitting him during an argument aboard the vessel in the Marina Village area.Normally a person would be cited and released for an alleged misdemeanor battery, but Durani said that Deitschman was too intoxicated to care for himself so he was taken to Santa Rita Jail to be held temporarily.Deitschman last year was charged with one count of annoying or molesting a minor — the alleged victim was a member of the Golden Gate Young Marines in Hayward, where Deitschman had been unit commander.The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office investigation found he inappropriately touched the 15-year-old, moving “his hand to her buttocks” and “underneath her shorts” during a massage. Deitschman also allegedly sent the girl sexually inappropriate text messages.The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office put Deitschman on paid suspension following the investigation; the Golden Gate Young Marines had suspended him in October, when the organization learned of the allegations. He retired from the Marine Corps with the rank of sergeant major.About 90 youth between ages 8 and 18 are in the Hayward unit of the Young Marines, a spokesman said.Deitschman is scheduled to next appear in court for a pretrial hearing on May 21, which may be postponed due to the coronavirus shelter-in-place order.Deitschman’s lawyer in the case involving the 15-year old did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
