MEDFORD, WI (WSAU) — The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office has identified the Clark County officer who was arrested last week on suspicion of child sex crimes.
Jeremy Chapman was arrested on Wednesday, June 12th at his home in Spencer. Officers obtained a search warrant for his home through a tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children task force. He made an initial appearance in court the next day where he learned he was facing potential charges for sexual exploitation of a child and child enticement. Additional charges include threats to injure or accuse of a crime and threats to communicate derogatory information.
