The initial hearing today for former Warsaw Police Dept. patrolman Timothy Whitright has been vacated.
Whitright’s lawyer, John Barrett, filed a motion to waive the initial hearing in Kosciusko County Superior Court I.
Whitright is charged with child molesting, a Class C felony, and child solicitation, a Class D felony.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the girl was at Whitright’s home with friends and was given a ride home by Whitright. During the ride home, Whitright allegedly attempted to solicit sexual favors from the young girl. It is also alleged that he touched her in a sexual manner.
Whitright turned himself in to law enforcement on Dec. 16 and was booked on a $10,000 bond. He was later released.
On Nov. 22, Whitright resigned from his post at the WPD. It was brought to the attention of WPD Chief Scott Whitaker four days prior that Whitright had an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old Warsaw Community High School student.
