Former Riverside County sheriff’s deputy arrested for alleged stalking
A former Riverside County sheriff’s deputy was arrested on allegations of stalking and kidnapping.
On Nov. 27, authorities received reports that a woman was reportedly being stalked by the suspect, identified as Alexander Vanny, 33.
An investigation was initiated and authorities “found evidence that Vanny committed additional felony offenses.”
On Dec. 19, Vanny was arrested for kidnapping, stalking, and other felony charges.
Vanny was previously arrested in June 2024 after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman who had been volunteering with the sheriff’s department.
At the time, Vanny was still employed as a deputy. The woman reported the assault to another deputy, who then told his supervisor, according to The Press-Enterprise.
Vanny was hired by the sheriff’s department in 2016 and last worked in the Hemet Sheriff’s Station. In June, he was released after posting a $1 million bond. He was initially placed on administrative leave but was later fired following the investigation.
The investigation into the December 2024 arrest remains ongoing and no further details were released.
Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to call Investigator Katherine Bermudez of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Unit at 951–955–1706.
