FWC Officer William Lawshe was arrested on Wednesday, April. 12, in St. John County, faces multiple criminal counts, including possession of child pornography.

According to FWC, Lawshe resigned before FWC fired him. Lawshe has been working for FWC since 2008 before resigning.

“These charges are detestable to me and all of our employees and in no way reflect our values as an agency,” said Col. Roger Young, Director of the FWC Division of Law Enforcement. “As both a law enforcement officer and a father, I’m angered by the allegations connected with this arrest. If found guilty, he has betrayed the oath that all law enforcement officers take to protect the public and he will be held accountable for his actions. I’d like to thank St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office for their hard work on this case.”
