“It’s becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in
America - mentally unstable cops”
After only
weeks on the job, a Gwinnett County police officer is accused of electronically
furnishing obscene materials to minors.
Mr. David D.
Lowe, 26, was out on bond after his own department arrested him, officials
confirmed Monday.
On Friday,
officers arrested Mr. Lowe who graduated from the police academy on May 10,
police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said.
He resigned
following his arrest when he was notified of the department's intention to fire
him, Cpl. Smith said.
Following a tip from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Gwinnett police investigated
the source of an explicit video posted on www.myyearbook.com, a website designed to use by minors and
grouped by age range. “The tip indicated that an unknown person had created
such a profile and used it to share explicit video with minors,” Cpl. Smith
said.
The
department’s investigation led to the home of one of their own.
“It was
quickly determined that he was a new police officer in this department,” Cpl.
Smith said.
A search
warrant was obtained and conducted on Mr. Lowe’s Norcross home and
computers early Friday, the corporal said. Detectives and officers transported
Mr. Lowe to the Gwinnett County Jail late Friday night, officials said.
