Aug. 13—A deputy with the Cobb County Sheriff's Office was arrested Thursday evening on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and distribution of child abuse material.

Deputy Peter Bilardello, of Marietta, was arrested by Cobb police and is being held at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center on $100,000 bond.

"Upon receiving notification of the arrest warrant, Sheriff (Craig) Owens immediately placed Bilardello on unpaid administrative leave and confiscated his badge, I.D. and county-issued weapons," reads a release from the Cobb Sheriff's Office.

Cobb police are investigating, and Owens has asked the CCSO's internal affairs division to open its own investigation.

Ivorian artist turns discarded flip-flops from beach into masterpieces
As Ivorian artist Aristide Kouame combs the beach with a big trash bag to gather discarded flip-flops and other footwear, he is aware that other beachgoers probably take him for a desperate street trader or possibly a madman. Little do they know that Kouame, 26, transforms the flotsam into artworks valued at up to $1,000 by cutting the rubber and plastic soles into pieces that he assembles into large collages. "This is the rubbish people have thrown into the sea and the sea brings it back to us because it doesn't want it," he said on a beach in Abidjan, Ivory Coast's commercial capital.
