Former non-certified Arapahoe County deputy arrested for sexual assault on a child

A former non-certified Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office deputy was arrested over the weekend by the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office for three counts of sexual assault on a child.

John Beck was immediately placed on leave without pay. He was a non-certified deputy sheriff serving in the detention facility and has been employed with the Sheriff’s Office since January 2009.

Sheriff Dave Walcher commented on the situation saying, “I am disgusted by the nature of these charges. Should the allegations prove to be true, his actions have not only forever impacted the lives of the victims; they have also cast a shadow on the great work our staff does every day in service to our community.”

No additional information has been released at this time.
