Ex-Cop Wanted In Child Porn Case Turns Himself In
Comments 0 | Recommend 0A former police officer, wanted on 20 counts of "encouraging child sexual abuse," has turned himself in. Investigators say the charges stem from images of child pornography found on computers he owned.
Mark Allen Heckerman of Phoenix had been in law enforcement in Hawaii and California for 18 years. More recently he owned a local construction company doing finish carpentry.
Police say Heckerman left the area right after a search warrant was served that allowed investigators to go through his home. Last week he was in Contra Costa County, California, east of San Francisco, and heard he was wanted in Southern Oregon by the High-Tech Crimes Task Force.
Heckerman agreed to return to Oregon and turned himself in at the Jackson County Jail at about 3:30 this morning.
