BANNING, Calif. (KNX) — A former Banning police officer was arrested earlier this month on accusations that he sent harmful material to a minor and used an underage person for obscene material.
Officer Chistopher Sayeski, 38, was taken into custody by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department on Feb. 3 and booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility, where he was released on $10,000 bail that same day, according to sheriff’s inmate records.
His next court appearance is scheduled for March 21.
Officials with the Banning Police Department confirmed to KESQ that they are fully cooperating with the sheriff’s department and the county district attorney’s office in their investigation.
"The Banning Police Department remains committed to the uncompromised integrity of its officers and it will take all appropriate actions to ensure the public's trust in its law enforcement agency," Banning police said in a news release.
Banning has since resigned from the department, according to KESQ.
The circumstances surrounding the allegations were not immediately shared.
