KCSO arrests sex offender

HAYDEN — A former Los Angles police officer was recently arrested in Hayden for alleged violations of his sex offender registry, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office.

Ryan Eric Galliher was taken into custody without incident Saturday night.

A press release said the four violations Galliher was arrested for pertained to his failure to update mandatory information, as required by law.

Each violation carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Galliher's original sex crime convictions stem from incidents of him committing various lewd acts, including repeated acts of indecent exposure in the Huntington Beach area in Orange County, Calif., the release said.

"All of these acts occurred in 2014, while off duty, but, while still actively employed with the Los Angeles Police Department," according to the press release.

Galliher's bond was set at $10,000 on Monday.
