Former Brookfield Officer Closing In On Plea Deal

A former Brookfield school resource officer accused of tampering with evidence may be close to a plea deal. Prosecutors say negotiations continue in Steven Rountos’ case, with his next court date set for February 10. Rountos was arrested in 2022 after allegedly distributing and destroying evidence related to nude photos of former students. He resigned while under investigation in 2021. A lawsuit against him and town officials remains unresolved.
