A former Centre police officer faces multiple charges after an investigation by the Cedar Bluff Police Department.
Aaron Aubrey Flynt, 29, is charged with 25 counts of possession of child pornography. According to court documents, Flynt was in possession of multiple images of young girls posing in the nude in October 2022.
Flynt previously worked as an officer at the Centre Police Department, but chief Kirk Blankenship said he was only employed there for about two years.
"We hired him, took him to the academy and we relieved him of his duties," said Blankenship. "He was relieved but it had nothing to do with what's going on now. When he worked with us there was no indication of anything like that and when he left here he didn't get back in law enforcement."
Flynt was booked into the Cherokee County Jail Thursday where he remained Friday morning.
