Former North Dakota Police Officer Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Charges

A Fargo man reaches a plea deal in a child porn case and has 5 of 6 felony counts dropped.

43-year-old Mark Wallevand pleaded guilty to just one count of possession of prohibited materials.

Four other similar counts and one for promoting a sexual performance by a minor were dropped.

Wallevand is a former police officer who served in several western cities in North Dakota.

He faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced in February.
