Dado has been employed with the sheriff's office since May 2017 and served as a detention officer.
In May 2018, Dado served an eviction notice while in uniform and carrying a handgun, according to the news release. Because Dado is not a licensed peace officer, it's unlawful for her to carry the handgun while in uniform when she is not acting within her official duties.
Dado was placed on administrative leave as a result of her arrest.
The case is being investigated by the office's public integrity unit.
