GENEVA, N.Y. – Two more Geneva Police officers have been put on administrative leave after a criminal investigation, the police chief has confirmed.

It comes after Officer Michael Tapscott, a 13-year veteran of the department, was arrested after being accused of selling Adderall while on duty. He was put on leave and has since resigned.

Since then, two officers, Sgt. David Felice and Officer Nathan Jacon, have also been placed on leave following an investigation by the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Ronald Eveland didn’t provide any further details because the investigation is ongoing.

In a letter, Eveland said if the allegations against Tapscott are true, it is “deeply unsettling,” and that this time is both “extremely difficult,” for both the police department and for the Geneva community.

Eveland says he has faith that a thorough investigation will be done and that there will be a proper outcome.
