A Metro Police officer was arrested late Wednesday on allegations of lewdness with a child under 14 years old, according to Henderson Police, the arresting agency.
Matthew Terry, 27, was being held in the Henderson Detention Center on three counts of lewdness with a child under 14, two counts of attempted lewdness and six counts of child abuse or neglect, jail logs show. Bond was set at $120,000.
Information released was limited, but police said the alleged crimes were reported on May 3. Citing an open investigation, police did not expound on the accusations.
