The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is releasing additional details about a Kansas man arrested Thursday in Winneshiek County by Sheriff's Deputies.

The KBI says 45-year-old David Huggins, a Linn County, Kansas Sheriff's Deputy, had been working as a school resource officer in the Pleasanton School District, around 60 miles south of Kansas City.
