A former Eustace police officer has been arrested and charged with possession and/or promotion of child pornography.
Cody Mitchell Burris, 32, was arrested on December 28, 2024, by Henderson County deputies. The arrest stems from an incident that occurred on June 21, 2024.
An arrest affidavit alleges that Burris used city internet to share videos of young girls performing sexual acts. The investigation linked Burris to the illicit activity after discovering images of him sitting in an apparent police car while using the involved IP addresses.
Burris resigned from the Eustace Police Department immediately following his arrest. He remains in the Henderson County Jail on a $75,000 bond.
"To wear a badge for the Eustace Police Department is a position of public trust. We want to thank the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office and Crimes Against Children Task Force for their work on this case.", said Eustace Mayor Dustin Shelton.
The investigation is ongoing.
