A former Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been arrested after allegedly sending explicit messages and photos to a minor.
According to LCSO, in May, the sheriff’s office received a cyber tip about a man communicating online with a 17-year-old.
The conversations reportedly contained explicit content and photos.
Detectives with the Innocent Images Unit identified the man as 51-year-old Bryon Haycook. Haycook, who LCSO had employed, was questioned and resigned shortly after.
On Thursday, a warrant for Transmission of Material Harmful to a Minor was issued for Haycook.
That same day, Haycook turned himself into the Lee County Jail.
