A detective established probable cause to arrest Graham, who was in the Bay Area according to information the department gathered.
Sgt. Scott Crivelli said after a warrant was drafted for Graham’s arrest, the detective made contact with the suspect and he agreed to come to South Lake Tahoe and turn himself in.
Graham was charged with fondling, annoying a child after a specific prior conviction.
His bail was set at $100,000 and was released as of Wednesday morning.
