Otsego County deputies

All crimes described in police media releases are allegations. Named suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Federal authorities say 42 year-old Jeremie Hoyt of Davenport has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges. Hoyt admitted in court that he made and distributed a video of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Hoyt remains locked up and is facing at least 15 years to 110 years in prison.

Sheriff Devlin details why Otsego County can't hold onto deputies. Since this past July, the county has lost as many as 13 deputies with low pay being the predominant reason.
