ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — A former deputy in the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office is headed to jail.

Zachary Starner was sentenced Friday to 60 days in jail following his conviction in March on a charge of perjury. Prosecutors say the 36-year-old lied under oath during the trial of a colleague in 2019.

Starner, who was fired by Sheriff Derek Osborne after his conviction, will also be on probation for three years.
