Tecklenburg -- who is also a reserve firefighter for the Lockeford-Clements Fire Department -- was booked into San Joaquin County Jail shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday on suspicion of forcible rape, committing lewd acts upon a child, sexual battery with restraint, terrorist threats and three counts of possession of child pornography, Stone said. Bail was set at more than $280,000, officials said. By mid-morning Tuesday, sheriff's investigators had served three search warrants at Tecklenburg's work places and home.
Tecklenburg is scheduled to appear in Lodi Superior Court today at 12:15 p.m., officials said.
