Webb Sr. faces two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, two counts of sexual assault of a child, one count of sexual assault, and one count of prohibited sexual contact.
Webb Sr. was removed from his role as fire chief back in February. At the time, the departure was presented as a “leave of absence,” and no further details were released by the department. However, the Sweeny Police Chief confirmed there was an active criminal investigation involving Webb Sr.
Court records indicate the alleged incidents date back to 2000, 2001, and 2004.
On Sunday, Sweeny Mayor Dusty Hopkins told KPRC 2’s Corley Peel that Webb Sr.’s case came under investigation after two other members of the Sweeny Fire Department — including Webb Sr.’s son — were arrested on charges of sex crimes against minors.
Law enforcement has not confirmed a direct connection between Webb Sr.’s charges and the cases involving the other firefighters, but officials say the broader investigation remains active and ongoing.
The suspect’s son’s charges
Webb Sr.’s arrest comes as the Sweeny Fire Department is already under intense scrutiny following the arrest of his son, Timothy Webb Jr.
Webb Jr., also a former fire chief with SFD, is facing multiple felony charges in a separate but related child exploitation case.
Webb Jr. is facing 13 total charges involving five different children, according to court documents.

Those charges include 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.
Investigators said some of the abuse involved forcing minors to engage in explicit acts on video in exchange for money, with incidents reported between August 2023 and August 2025.
Another former SFD firefighter, Coleman Pollock, was also arrested and charged in separate crimes related to the investigation.
Authorities allege that Pollock and Webb Jr. were neighbors, and investigators are examining whether the two men may have exchanged explicit images involving victims.
