Madden was arrested at his Elder Creek Circle residence in Rancho Tehama on April 2 by a Tehama County sheriff’s deputy. He was booked into the jail on charges of sodomy with a child, sexual penetration of a child, showing harmful matter to a child, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of brass knuckles, prohibited possession of ammunition, possession of a controlled substance, and other charges.
