CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) – A Chesapeake Police officer was arrested Tuesday and faces several charges of possessing child pornography.
Chesapeake Police said it got a complaint earlier this year alleging Timothy M. Newton had engaged in criminal activity. The department’s criminal investigations section investigated the case, and detectives found probable cause to charge Newton.
Newton has been employed with the Chesapeake Police Department since February 2007. He has been suspended from the department, police said.
Newton is scheduled for his arraignment at the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Wednesday morning.
