William “Bud” Walker was arraigned on two counts of child pornography possession one day after being arrested at police headquarters. He had been relieved of duty last week when word of an investigation became public.

Police began their probe earlier this month after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that child pornography had been uploaded from a home in Fairfax County.

Walker has been a police officer in Fairfax County since 1999. He worked as a public information officer and was also a school resource officer in South County High School from 2006 through 2009.

Walker’s attorney had no comment on the case following Thursday’s court hearing.
