Stalking and Kidnapping Suspect Arrested 

December 20, 2024 – Riverside County Sheriff’s Office officials report that on November 27, 2024, the Riverside Sheriff’s Hemet Station received information of an adult female being stalked by a suspect identified as Alexander Vanny. Because Vanny was previously employed and terminated by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office for allegations of sexual assault, the Riverside Sheriff’s Special Victims Unit was requested and assumed the investigation.

The Riverside Sheriff’s Special Victims Unit launched an investigation into the new allegations and found evidence that Vanny committed additional felony offenses. Vanny was taken into custody on December 19, 2024, and booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center for kidnapping, stalking, and other felony charges.

This investigation is ongoing, and no further details will be released. Anyone with information regarding the details of this case is encouraged to contact Lead Investigator Katherine Bermudez of the Special Victims Unit at 951-955-1706.
