LILLINGTON, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Harnett County deputy has been reassigned after an internal investigation, the sheriff's office said Monday.

The deputy was allegedly accessing a pornography site while on duty at a local school.

Sheriff Wayne Coats said the appropriate disciplinary action has been taken, and the deputy is no longer assigned to any school.

Coats added that he could not say more about the details of the investigation "as it would violate our personnel privacy policy."

Coats did say that the deputy involved did not violate any criminal law and was not arrested.

The deputy has been assigned to other duties within the sheriff's office.

"The Harnett County Sheriff's Office is committed to upholding the highest standard of conduct by our deputies." Coats added.
