Politicians might tell you it's ok to do something but that doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do. Please, use common sense. We have had little rain and everything is still very dry.

Child Sexual Abuse Material Investigation

Last week, Klickitat County Sheriff’s Deputies executed a search warrant in the vicinity of the 1300 block of SW Pucker Huddle Road White Salmon, as part of an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation. The search warrant and investigation resulted in Deputy Will Sauter arresting 31-year-old Kaleo Connolly for possession of child po*******hy.

Detective Sergeant Tony Warren has been spearheading the Sheriff’s Office’s ability to investigate internet crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children. Sgt. Warren has connected KCSO with other agencies along with the tools and training necessary to investigate these types of crimes.

Cases involving Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) are among the most challenging investigations law enforcement officers undertake. They require specialized training, extensive digital evidence analysis, coordination with other agencies, and significant investigative time.

These investigations are difficult and resource-intensive, but protecting children and identifying those who exploit them remains an important public-safety responsibility.
We appreciate the dedication of the deputies and investigators involved in this case and the continued cooperation of our law-enforcement partners.

KCSO will not be providing updates on this incident. As with all criminal cases, the person arrested is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Don't Fall For SCAMS

We have had 2 reported scams recently. Both are by phone.

1. The caller says they are from local Law Enforcement, they tell the person that they have a warrant and they can pay with a debit or credit card to get the warrant taken care of.

2. The caller says that they are from Border Patrol or DEA and tell the person that their name was found on packages of drugs near the border, and that they can take care of the warrant for their arrest with a debit or credit card.

Do not fall for it, these and contacts like these, are total scams. KCSO nor any other law enforcement agency is going to call you about paying for a warrant. These are fake "cops".
