Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, 8-year veteran Milwaukee Police Officer Mark T. Horstmeyer was charged with five felony counts for possession of child pornography, according to court records. If convicted, Horstmeyer is facing up to 25 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines for each count. A signature bond of $15,000 was set for Horstmeyer by Milwaukee County Court Commissioner Grace Flynn.
