CULPEPER, VA (CVILLERIGHTNOW) – A Culpeper woman was arrested on multiple felony charges following investigations into child pornography possession, drug distribution, and prostitution, according to the Culpeper Police Department.

Destinie Love Pollard, 24, was taken into custody on February 25 after investigations by the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force and the NOVA-DC Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
