“Inconsistencies” in an officer’s patrols ended with his arrest, police in Georgia say.

Patrick Benjamin Ventura, 28, faces child molestation charges after an investigation into claims he sexually abused a teenage girl, the Gwinnett County Police Department announced Aug. 5.

He is also charged with sexual battery against a child younger than 16 and violation of oath of office, police said in a news release. The officer was later served a “letter of intent to terminate,” police said.
