BALLINGER, TX - According to Runnels County Sheriff's Office Chad Alan Reitmeyer was arrested in Kansas City, Kansas on Dec. 20. Reitmeyer has been charged with four different counts of sexual assault in Texas.

The investigation into Reitmeyer began in July of 2019 after the Runnels County Sheriff's Office received information about a child who had possibly been sexually assaulted over an unknown period of time.
