BUFFALO — A 34-year-old Buffalo man was charged with endangering the welfare of a child on a bench warrant from January — as a result of applying for a job with the Erie County Sheriff’s Office.
According to Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard, David Dole had applied for a Sheriff’s Deputy position within the Jail Management Division and during the background process, deputies from the Professional Standards Division discovered the candidate was wanted by the Hamburg Police Department. Dole’s original charges stem from an incident where he allegedly encouraged students, on a bus he was driving, to watch a YouTube video with a popular animated movie character performing sexually explicit acts.
Dole was at the Professional Standards Division office when he was taken into custody and turned over to the Hamburg Police Department.
Due to this arrest and other undisclosed arrests, the individual has been disqualified from any employment opportunities with the Erie County Sheriff’s Office.
