Washoe County deputy arrested in child porn case

August 10, 2008 - 9:00 pm
 

SPARKS -- A Washoe County sheriff's deputy has been arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornography, officers said.

Paul Kistner, 36, was booked Thursday night into the county jail, said Sparks police Cmdr. Gary Potter.

An independent party informed the sheriff's office Wednesday about allegations that the deputy was viewing child pornography, Potter said.

The investigation was turned over Thursday to Sparks police, who served a search warrant on Kistner's home.

The deputy, a 12-year department veteran, is accused of viewing child pornography Web sites.

Because Kistner was assigned as a detention officer at the jail, he was moved to another facility for safety and security reasons, said sheriff's spokeswoman Brooke Keast.
