A retired reserve police of- ficer was arrested last week and charged with 100 counts of child pornography. He was arrested last Wednesday.
According to the Tampa Police Department, 61-year- old Paul Mumford was ar- rested after the department was informed that he was in possession of illegal images of children on his electronic de- vices. The department re- ceived the information in December 2021.

He was immediately relieved of duty and terminated on Feb- ruary 15, 2022. The investiga- tion is continuing and additional charges could be pending, police said.
