As previously reported by News Center 7, the Auglaize County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a fight at a home north of St. Marys on Feb. 7, 2025.
Once on scene, deputies learned there may have been alcohol and/or drugs present.
After a months-long investigation, deputies arrested Vogel and charged him with pandering obscenity involving a minor, disrupting public services, and furnishing to an underage.
Vogel was an officer for over a decade and was also a firearms instructor for SWAT, according to his website.
The website, which lists his birthday, matched his booking information at the time of the initial report.
