A Syracuse police officer accused of abusing a child has returned to work before the resolution of his prosecution, said department spokesman Kieran Coffey. Jacob Ternosky, the officer, was arrested in April by the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office and charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Deputies accused Ternosky of slapping a child and forcefully shoving the child’s face near soiled bed sheets, according to a police report filed in town of Clay court. Deputies said the two incidents happened between Feb. 19 and April 9 of this year.
