Two Shelby County Sheriff's Office deputies, including one who previously helped rescue children from a frozen pond, have reportedly been placed on leave after they were arrested.
According to the Memphis Police Department, 30-year-old Jhyunn Armstrong and 27-year-old Israel Muhammad were arrested on Sunday morning.
The Memphis Police reports that officers responded to a home on Morning Shadow Drive in Cordova just before 1:30 a.m. Armstrong and Israel were reportedly detained on the scene.
The police did not give details on the incident but said that both men have been charged with aggravated assault.
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office confirms that both work as deputies. The sheriff's office reports that they are both on unpaid leave pending an internal investigation.
Muhammad was one of the deputies involved in rescuing two boys who fell through an icy pond at the Southwind Lakes Apartments during the January winter storm.
