Richard S. Bradford
A Plano police officer has been arrested on felony charges of indecency with a child and possession or distribution of child pornography.

Richard Scott Bradford, 45, of Anna was arrested Thursday by the Collin County sheriff’s office on the child pornography charge. He was released from jail a few hours later on bond.

This is his second arrest in less than a month. Bradford was also arrested Dec. 23 on a charge of indecency with a child by contact. He was released from jail on bond.

Plano police spokesman David Tilley said Bradford was hired in July 1998 and has worked as a patrol officer during his entire career with the department. Bradford has been placed on administrative leave while the charges are investigated by the sheriff’s office. Tilley said Plano police are conducting their own internal investigation.

Bradford could not be reached for comment.

According to the arrest warrant on the indecency charge, a 9-year-old girl reported that Bradford touched her inappropriately on Dec. 22 while she was sleeping. She told police she woke up and saw Bradford with his pants down, the warrant stated. The girl reported what happened to her mother, who contacted authorities, the warrant stated.

According to the court documents, investigators obtained search warrants for Bradford’s cellphone and the contents of that cellphone the same day he was arrested. The report states investigators found multiple images of child pornography stored on the phone.

Collin County court records show Bradford also was found guilty on three separate misdemeanor charges for issuing bad checks in 2012. Tilley said that civil service law states that those class C misdemeanors don’t affect someone’s employment as long as they are taken care of.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night."
