A sheriff’s deputy in Tennessee was arrested last week on charges related to child pornography and an alleged text conversation he had with a 13-year-old in South Carolina, prompting his boss to publicly rip him as “disgusting” as he placed the cop on administrative leave.

“I am furious over the alleged actions … and the disgusting nature of these charges,” Hamilton County Sheriff Austin Garrett said in a Dec. 5 statement. “The HCSO holds our personnel to the highest of standards and this type of alleged behavior will not be tolerated.”
