Man Allegedly Sneaks Pics of Teen Girls

(Hammond, Indiana) A county correctional officer, Steven E. Lewis, was arrested last week for allegedly liquoring up his daughter's friends and taking inappropriate pictures.

Hammond Police Chief Brian Miller said the Hammond Police Department initiated the investigation in late July after three teen girls reported that while visiting a friend in the 7500 block of Jefferson Avenue, their friend's father provided alcohol to them and later took pictures of them without their knowledge.

Miller said Sgt. Chris Matonovich and Sgt. Mark Biller began questioning the girls, and called in the Department of Homeland Security and a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit because of the nature of the complaint involving pictures of teens and use of the Internet.

Lewis is in federal custody without bond.
