BY KEITH EPPS A Stafford County man who taught county children earlier this school year was recently arrested in Canada on child pornography charges. Ronald William White III, a long-term substitute teacher in Stafford, was arrested on Feb. 14 after his United Airlines flight landed at James Richardson Winnipeg International Airport. While being processed at Customs, an affidavit for a search warrant states, "irregularities" caused officials to investigate further. A subsequent search of White's laptop computer resulted in five images of child pornography, the affidavit states. The pictures all featured young boys posed in sexually explicit positions with their private parts exposed. The boys ranged in age from newborn to about 8 years old, court records state. The youngest child in the pictures still had his umbilical cord partially attached. After his arrest, White was placed in the Provincial Remand Centre in Winnipeg, where he is being held without bond. Stafford school spokeswoman Valerie Cottongim confirmed yesterday that White regularly substituted at Mountain View High School and Kate Waller Barrett Elementary School between October and December. She pointed out that White was one of more than 1,000 people on the county's substitute teacher list and had a background check done prior to getting the job. "Obviously if they come back with a criminal record, they aren't hired," Cottongim said. Stafford authorities are investigating White for possible crimes here as well. Stafford Detective Darryl Wells got a search warrant for White's home at 221 Choptank Road after receiving information from a Canadian detective about White's arrest there. White had not been charged in Stafford as of last night. Keith Epps: 540/374-5404
