Cave Spring Police Officer Arrested on Child Molestation Charges – UPDATED

FCSO - Earwood 2A Cave Spring Police Officer has been arrested and charged with multiple child sex crimes. 

According to Floyd County Jail records, 31 year old Patrick Edward Earwood of Park Street, was taken into custody at the Cave Spring Police Department Monday afternoon, after being charged with Aggravated Child Molestation, Sexual Battery and Sodomy.

Between January 2012 and June 24th of this year (2013), authorities allege Earwood forced a girl under the age of 16 to engage in sexual acts with him.

Cave Spring Police Chief Jerry Ely says Earwood has been dismissed from his job on grounds he violated city policy by allowing unauthorized personnel in his police vehicle.

Ely would not confirm whether the person allowed inside that vehicle, was the victim in the child molestation case, and referred questions about Earwood’s criminal investigation to Floyd County Police.
