South Dakota State University has been made aware of the arrest of University Police Department Chief Tim Heaton earlier today. The university is cooperating with the appropriate authorities. 

SDSU is working through the process to name an interim University Police Department chief.

Given this is an active legal and personnel matter, the university will not comment further at this time.
