Former northern Michigan sheriff s deputy convicted of child porn, drug crimes
By Amber Ainsworth
Andrew Wernette, 39, of Reed City, was a deputy in Osceola County.
A tip led authorities to execute a search warrant, where they discovered 100 images and videos of child sexually abusive material on Wernette’s computers and cell phone. Drugs were also found.
Officials said Wernette was in charge of the drug takeback program and would take medication that was supposed to be disposed of. This defendant took advantage of the position he held as a law enforcement officer to obtain various drugs for his personal use and engaged in extremely disturbing acts that exploited minors. We must not stand for this immoral behavior and this office will continue to take action to enforce the law and protect children in this state, Attorney General Dana Nessel said.
