Sheriff Jonathan Held and his wife divorced last year and his three sons live with her in Florida, according to WPXI news partner TribLive.

Earlier this month, a mistrial was declared in Held's public corruption case. The sheriff says he is innocent of charges he used sheriff's employees and resources for political activity.

Note: WPXI initially used the suspects' names, but authorities have since said they are being charged as juveniles, so that information has been removed from the story.
