LITTLE ROCK, AR - Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced that agents from his office have arrested a Boone County man for possession of child pornography.
David Allen Watson, 43, was arrested Thursday by agents with the Attorney General’s Cyber Crimes Unit.
“We will pursue those throughout our State who engage in this kind of reprehensible criminal activity,” McDaniel said. “Those who exploit children should know we will not tolerate their actions. We will continue to work with other law enforcement agencies to investigate these crimes.”
Watson was arrested after a search warrant was executed at home in Harrison. Watson was taken into custody after admitting to investigators that he had images of child pornography on his laptop computer.
During the search, agents discovered multiple images of child pornography on the computer. That and other seized electronic evidence will be analyzed at the Cyber Crimes Unit Forensic Lab.
Watson is being held in the Boone County Detention Center.
