    YORK COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — A deputy sheriff in York County is no longer employed after he assaulted a group of people who were setting off fireworks, the sheriff’s office says.

    The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office made the announcement Friday morning.

    Robert Murray, who was off-duty and in a work-as-required role at the time, went into the backyard of a neighboring home in the Tabb area and got into a physical altercation with three people, the sheriff’s office says. They say it happened around 11:50 p.m. on July 3.

    The sheriff’s office says several witnesses and the victims were interviewed, and Murray was later charged with three counts of simple assault, all of which are misdemeanors.
