Jeffrey Scott Salyer, a former North Carolina state trooper, was sentenced to probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor solicitation of prostitution. His arrest led to the dismissal of hundreds of cases in Union County, including DWI and traffic violations, due to concerns about his credibility as a witness. Salyer was arrested while on duty and in uniform, and his actions impacted cases in both Union and Gaston Counties. He faces 45 days in jail, suspended pending successful completion of probation, and must surrender his law enforcement certification.
