The former fire chief of the Sweeny Fire Department is facing multiple felony charges connected to allegations involving minors, according to court records and law enforcement officials.
Timothy Webb, who served as fire chief in Sweeny, was arrested on Jan. 23 and is currently being held in the Brazoria County Jail.
Prosecutors say a judge denied Webb bond following his indictment.
According to his Facebook page, Webb had been employed with Sweeny Fire Department since 2008.
Court records confirm that Webb is facing 13 total charges related to incidents with five separate children.
Webb has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, seven counts of indecency with a child, and four counts related to prostitution of a child.
Authorities say the investigation involves allegations from multiple children, with reported incidents spanning several years. Court documents mention dates from August of 2023 to August of 2025.
A mother told KPRC 2 News that two of her young daughters are among Webb’s alleged victims.
KPRC 2 News reporter Corley Peel has been investigating the case and spoke with the mother, who asked to remain anonymous.
The mother explained that, although she co-parents and does not live in Sweeny, her daughters did.
She said her daughters revealed the abuse several months ago.
“They ended up telling me that they were being sexually exploited and having to do things for money,” the mother said.
She says learning about the allegations left her overwhelmed with emotion.
“No child should have to endure the pain of a grown person touching them,” she said. “I want my kids to get the justice that they deserve.”
Court records also show Coleman Pollock, a former volunteer firefighter with Sweeny Fire Department has been charged in a separate but related case.
Sweeny police say Webb and Pollock were neighbors and confirmed investigators are examining a possible connection between the two men, adding that authorities believe the two firefighters exchanged explicit images of victims.
Pollock was arrested in September of 2025 and charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child and three counts of indecency with a child. The offense date of all six charges is listed as Dec. 4, 2024. He is currently out on bond.
Overcome with rage, the victims’ mother told Corley her immediate reaction.
“In any parent’s mind, hearing their child being sexually exploited or molested, the immediate thought is, ‘I’m going to kill them.’ That was my immediate thought,” she said.
The Brazoria County District Attorney’s office revealed that Webb’s wife was also arrested over the weekend in Jackson County. She is accused of taking off with Webb’s children, who are her stepchildren, and cutting off communication.
She faces charges of interfering with child custody and has been brought back to Brazoria County.
In a statement released on Jan. 23, Sweeny Mayor Dusty Hopkins said the city is aware of the indictments involving the members of the city’s fire department.
The mayor emphasized that the fire department operates independently from the city and that appropriate action was taken once the allegations came to light.
“Once the allegations were brought to the attention of the Fire Department and the City, the individuals were placed on administrative leave as a precautionary measure,” the statement read. “These actions were taken to safeguard public safety and preserve the integrity of the investigative process.”
The mayor added that an indictment is not a determination of guilt and that all defendants are entitled to due process under the law.
Sweeny police have confirmed there may be additional victims. The department is encouraging anyone with information on Webb, Pollock, or any additional victims to contact investigators.
