Michael Akins, Inman, Kansas, police chief, has been charged with more than a dozen sex crimes and two counts of battery after he was arrested Tuesday night...

Michael Leland Akins Jr., 38, has been charged in McPherson County District Court with 19 counts that include abusing three girls and one boy under the age of 14. The alleged crimes reportedly occurred between December 2008 and December 2009, Attorney General Steve Six said...
The town's one remaining full-time officer was named acting police chief at a special City Council meeting called this morning, Mayor John O'Brien said...The Police Department has two half-time officers and one part-time officer.
...Six said Akins has been charged with one count of rape, 12 counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, two counts of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child, one count of indecent solicitation with a child, two counts of battery and one count of lewd and lascivious behavior.
The preliminary hearing for Akins has been set for 3 p.m. on Jan. 15.

This is a fairly good size police force for a town of 1,200. I'm waiting to hear if these were his children or step-children.
