HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) has arrested a former detention deputy from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) on charges related to child pornography.
Detectives from HCSO’s Internet Predator Unit executed a search warrant at a home in Lutz on July 1, 2024, following a tip-off from the PCSO regarding the arrest of Trevor Willis, 33, a PCSO Detention Deputy.
Willis was initially arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office on July 1, 2024, on multiple child pornography charges. Following his arrest, he resigned from his position.

The investigation highlights the dedication of law enforcement agencies in working together to ensure justice and uphold the safety and trust of the community.
