LANCASTER, Wis. (AP) - State investigators have raided the home of a Grant County sheriff's deputy as part of an investigation into his alleged contact with a female high school student.

A search warrant filed Friday says authorities are investigating Curtis Gillilan, 26, of Lancaster. The warrant says the girl's mother reported that Gillilan and her teenage daughter kissed in a squad car in 2008. It says Gillilan also sent the girl pornographic pictures and that she watched him perform a lewd act on a webcam.

A current telephone listing for Gillilan could not be found Saturday.

Gillilan has been a full-time deputy since June 2006. He has not been charged but Sheriff Keith Govier tells the Wisconsin State Journal the deputy was suspended with pay Thursday.
