San Diego County sheriff's deputy has been arrested in Riverside County on  child molestation charges

Sam Thomas Knight, 40, was hired by San Diego Sheriff’s Dept in 2007

He was booked on suspicion of committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child and annoying or molesting children

Riverside County Sheriff’s in Perris received information regarding a sexual assault of a minor in July 2016

A Riverside Sheriff’s Spokesman said he didn’t know why it took more than 1½ years from the initial complaint for an arrest to be made

In 2014 Knight came under scrutiny after he was placed on indefinite suspended for putting a handcuffed inmate in a neck restraint and failing to file a report

He appealed the suspension to the county civil service commission, which determined it was unwarranted and ordered he be reinstated and receive back pay with interest

Sheriff Gore attempted to have the decision overturned, but a Superior Court judge upheld the commission's decision, and allowed Knight to stay on duty

Knight has been released on a $65,000 bail
