Former Sweeny Fire Chief Jailed Without Bond on 13 Counts in Child Exploitation Case

Police are probing possible links to a volunteer firefighter, including alleged sharing of illicit images.

Overview

  • Timothy David Webb was arrested on Jan. 23 and remains in the Brazoria County Jail after a judge denied bond following his indictment.
  • Court records list 13 charges tied to five children, including aggravated sexual assault, indecency with a child, and counts related to the prostitution of a minor, with alleged incidents from August 2023 to August 2025.
  • Former volunteer firefighter Coleman Pollock faces a separate case with sexual assault and indecency charges tied to Dec. 4, 2024; he was arrested in September 2025 and released in November on a $400,000 bond.
  • The Brazoria County District Attorney’s office says Webb’s wife was arrested in Jackson County on an interfering-with-child-custody charge and returned to Brazoria County.
  • Sweeny officials placed the accused on administrative leave, police say the elder Timothy Webb has been appointed fire chief, and investigators are asking anyone with information or potential victims to contact them while noting indictments are not findings of guilt.
