One of the 'perks' of being a cop?

A former Chesterfield County sheriff’s captain was convicted this week of a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Donny Lewis Dixon, 40, of Ashland, had been facing a felony charge of distributing child pornography.

On Wednesday, Dixon entered a written agreement with prosecutors in Hanover County General District Court where he agreed to be convicted on the lesser misdemeanor charge.
