In June 2023, Detention Officer Garret Pedersen was arrested for possession of child sexual abuse material. A Verizon Wireless employee discovered explicit photos of children on Pedersen’s phone while he was obtaining a new device. Pedersen admitted to downloading the material and consented to a phone search, which confirmed the presence of such images. He was charged with sexual abuse of children and terminated from his position at the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office.
