05/20/2006 - VIDOR - Chad Bourque, a Vidor Police Officer since Oct. 2001, has been indicted on one count of Child Pornography, a 3rd degree felony. The charge came after a month long investigation performed by the Orange Count District attorney’s Office.
“He came to us in April and reported an incident he had been involved in,” said Chief Conroy, Vidor Police Department. “Afterwards, the D.A. and I came to a mutual agreement that the District Attorney, John Kimbrough, would investigate the matter.”
“During the investigation, Bourque was suspended with pay and served in a civilian capacity,” explained Conroy. “Yesterday, when I learned he was being charged with one count of Child Pornography, he was suspended without pay until the proceedings are finalized. If he’s found not guilty, or if the charges are stopped, he could file for reinstatement.”
“He (Chad Bourque) has been a good officer and no disciplinary action has been taken on him since his arrival from Kountze Police Department,” commented Conroy. “Up until this point, he’s done a good job for the Vidor Police Department.”
