Charge Emerges During Background Check

A Newport News man's interest in law enforcement has led to a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The charge against 20-year-old Oliver Shea Wright emerged during a routine background check after he applied to become a police officer.

Police say the charge stems from an inappropriate relationship Wright had with a 15-year-old from Newport News. Police said the relationship was consensual.
