Former detail deputy accused of masturbating in front of children near Enfield ice cream shop

ENFIELD, CT. (WGGB/WSHM) -A former construction detail deputy with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department is being accused of masturbating in front of children outside an Enfield ice cream shop last week.

On Friday, witnesses said they heard a loud moaning noise coming from a parked truck.

According to the police report, witnesses said the noise was blasting through the truck’s speakers and a man inside the car had his leg hanging out of the window.
