A Little Rock police officer has been charged in a child pornography case, the department announced Monday.
Officer Eddie Seaton, a 12-year veteran of the department, was indicted on a count of possession of child pornography, police said in a news release.
Seaton has been on administrative leave since Dec. 30, when police and federal authorities searched his home and seized computers and other electronics, according to the release. He has now been relieved of duty.
Seaton was not listed on the Pulaski County jail roster Monday afternoon.
Seaton is the fourth Little Rock police officer who has been arrested in recent months. Officer Jonathan Walker was arrested in January on a charge of third-degree domestic battery. Detective John Brawley was arrested the same month on the same charge.
Officer Muhammad Zubair Yaqeen was arrested in December on a charge of third-degree domestic battery.
