OSCEOLA COUNTY, MI – A former Osceola County sheriff’s deputy was sentenced to prison on child-sexually abusive activity and drug charges.
Andrew Wernette, 39, of Reed City, was sentenced this week by Osceola County Circuit Judge Scott Hill-Kennedy after pleading guilty to multiple charges.
“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,” state Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement.
