Meth Dealing Scoutmaster Busted In Clyde, Texas Boy Scout Hut

Reprint from ZipCodeMojo.com

The Scoutmaster is the adult leader responsible for the image and program of the troop. The Scoutmaster and his assistant Scoutmasters work directly with the Scouts. The importance of the Scoutmaster's job is reflected in the fact that the quality of his guidance will affect every youth and adult involved in the troop.

A scoutmaster was arrested Wednesday in Clyde, Texas for allegedly distributing methamphetamine from the Boy Scout Hut. Scoutmaster William Karl "Bill" Cedergren, 52, was arrested for "Manufacturing and Delivery of Methamphetamine over Four Ounces" enhanced to a "1st Degree Felony" because the Boy Scout Hut, located on the 300 block of Forrest Street in Clyde, is within 1,000 feet of an elementary school.

Callahan county Sheriff Terry Joy's investigators have had Cedergren under surveillance for several months. Multiple informants had routinely mentioned his name in Callahan county drug busts for quite some time. Callahan county deputies orchestrated a controlled buy utilizing an informant who had access to the Boy Scout Hut to purchase one-gram of methamphetamine from Cedergren.

The buy was successful although Cedergren "shorted" her as the actual weight was between .8 to .9 grams. Cedergren was arrested, and the ensuing search yielded a scale, an ample supply of "meth" baggies and miscellaneous paraphernalia that suggested he was a dealer. Additionally, a massive amount of pornographic material was discovered to be stored within Cedergren's private Boy Scout Hut office. Investigators are reviewing the pornographic collection in search of alleged child pornography.

Additionally, other pornographic material was removed throughout the facility where children had unencumbered access to it. Cedergren ultimately admitted to investigators that he had, in fact, been a meth dealer in Clyde for the past two years. He was released on Thursday after posting a $15,000 bond.

 I AM DISTURBED BY THE FACT THAT THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA WOULD ALLOW CEDERGREN TO BE INVOLVED WITH ANY OF OUR CHILDREN BASED ON THE FACT OF WHAT I JUST FOUND ON A SIMPLE ONE COUNTY SEARCH!
