ALLEN COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) - A former Allen County Sheriff’s Office deputy was arrested by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) in connection to child sex crimes.

According to the KBI, they arrested Michael Tennyson, 24, of Iola, at about 7:15 p.m. on Friday, March 29 at the Allen County Sheriff’s Office following a missing persons case that was investigated by the Hays Police Department. Tennyson was arrested for aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
