SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) – A former Scottsbluff police officer is scheduled for a January trial after pleading not guilty to 10 counts of possession of child pornography. 27-year-old Tyler Reinpold, of Mitchell, was arraigned in Scotts Bluff County District Court earlier this month. Previously, a judge had overruled Reinpold’s motion challenging the charges against him. Prosecutors say a relative discovered the images in August 2010 while he was fixing Reinpold’s computer. Most of the images depict girls ranging in age from 11 to 14. Reinpold was a Scottsbluff police officer for about three years before leaving in January. Reinpold’s lawyer, Sterling Huff, has argued that the images were part of an investigation Reinpold was conducting on a person he called a friend.
