The St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Covington-area man for Carnal Knowledge after evidence of the crime surfaced following his application for employment with the agency.
While completing the new hire processing for applicant Robert Ebersole Jr., STPSO detectives received information that he may have been involved in an inappropriate relationship with an under-aged individual several years prior.
That led detectives to launch an investigation and reach out to the possible victim.
The result of that investigation led investigators to arrest Ebersole for Felony Carnal Knowledge Tuesday (April 26) afternoon.
He was booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.
