CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) 鈥� Officials say a doctor at the University of Virginia has been arrested and accused of possessing child pornography. Charlottesville police said Saturday that a cyber-tip led to the arrest of David Lapides.
Police said the 37-year-old was in custody. Local news outlets report Lapides is a neurologist at the university鈥檚 medical center. A spokesman tells The Daily Progress he鈥檚 currently on administrative leave.
Online court records show Lapides has a bond hearing scheduled for Friday morning. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach a defense attorney listed for Lapides were not immediately successful.
