NEWAYGO, Mich. — A former police officer accused of criminal sexual conduct made a brief virtual appearance in Newaygo District Court on Monday.
Ryan Dornbos waived his right to a preliminary hearing, in lieu of a proposed plea deal.
Dornbos would plead guilty to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. In exchange, other charges he's facing, including aggravated stalking, would be dropped.
This deal is only a proposal. If it goes through, Dornbos would face up to 10 years behind bars.
His case has been bound over to circuit court.
Dornbos previously worked as a police officer for the Newaygo Police Department and the Big Rapids Police Department.
