A Newport News Police officer was charged Monday with several sex-related felonies in York County.
Ronald M. Hendrickson, 47, of Yorktown, was arrested Monday evening after turning himself in at the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office. He was charged with felony abduction with intent to defile, abduction, animate object penetration, and misdemeanor sexual battery, said York-Poquoson Sheriff's Lt. Penny Diggs, an investigator on the case.
Diggs said the victim in the case is known to Hendrickson, and the charges against him stem from an incident that was reported to the sheriff's office about 3:30 a.m. Monday.
Hendrickson is being held in the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail without bond.
Newport News Police Department Spokesman Lou Thurston said Hendrickson — a lieutenant who has been with the Newport News Police Department for just under 23 years — has been placed on administrative leave with pay while an internal investigation is conducted.
At the time of his arrest, Hendrickson was assigned to the department's South Precinct patrol division in a supervisory position, Thurston said.
