HARTFORD >> A 31-year-old Middletown correction officer was arrested late last week on charges including possession of child pornography, according to the state Department of Correction.

Jeffrey Adgers Jr. is on unauthorized leave and is the subject of an ongoing departmental investigation, corrections spokesperson Andrius Banevicius said Friday.

Adgers was arrested on July 23 and charged with second-degree possession of child pornography, attempt to commit tampering with evidence and providing a false statement to authorities.

He is being held on a $250,000 bond at Suffield’s MacDougal-Walker Correctional Institution, Banevicius confirmed.

He’s due back in court on Aug. 5
