Former police chief arrested on secret peeping charges involving minor

Greg Warren faces six felony charges including secret peeping and possessing illicit images after allegedly photographing a minor in 2023, according to court and SBI reports.

  • On Wednesday, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of Newton Grove Police Chief Greg Warren, who faces seven felony charges including indecent liberties with a minor.
  • The Sampson County Sheriff's Office requested SBI assistance after deputies received allegations against former Chief Greg Warren, and court documents allege he photographed a sleeping minor victim and possessed those images.
  • Court records show the timeline and statute-level breakdown, with the indecent-liberties allegation tied to 2023 and six secret-peeping charges in 2025 under G.S. 14-202 and G.S. 14-202.
  • He was booked into the Sampson County Detention Center and is expected in court later this week, but the Sampson County Sheriff's Office says he posted bond and was released.
  • Warren's role as a local police chief since 2019 heightens public interest, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation says the probe remains ongoing with no additional public information expected.
