A San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Deputy charged with a felony count of assault under color of authority and a misdemeanor sexual battery has been released on his own recognizance following his first court appearance. Danny Swanson, 47, was charged on Monday after an investigation into a complaint lodged by a county jail inmate presented enough evidence for the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s office to file charges. According to the complaint, in November of 2017 Swanson made unwanted sexual advances on a female inmate at the San Joaquin County Honor Farm during transportation.
