Georgia police announce arrest of Donell Anderson in disappearance of wife Imani Roberson
The Rockdale County Sheriff's office has arrested Donell Anderson and charged him with murder after his wife, Imani Roberson, went missing nearly three weeks ago.
A Georgia police officer was recently arrested over accusations he molested a teenage girl, officials say.
Patrick Benjamin Ventura, 28, is charged with two counts of child molestation and one count of violation of oath of office. He is also charged with one count of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16.
Ventura joined the Gwinnett County Police Department in October 2020, graduating from police academy in the spring of 2021. Authorities say that the investigation began when the suspect's supervisor became suspicious of his patrol activities.
"In late July, a supervisor began investigating some inconsistencies in the patrol activities of Ofc. Patrick Ventura (North Precinct)," Gwinnett County Police Department said in a statement. "During the course of the investigation, the Special Victims Unit became involved because the allegations involved a teenage girl under the age of 16."
