A 22-year-old rural Knox County man was been arrested earlier in the week on charges of possession of child pornography.
According to the Knox County Sheriff’s Department, a search warrant was executed at 500 First Street in Douglas, between Maquon and Yates City on Tuesday.
Arrested was Timothy S. Agans, who resides at that address. He is currently being housed at the Knox County Jail.
The search warrant was obtained after an extensive investigation led by the Knox County Sheriff’s Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force into possession and transmission of child pornography.
The Sheriff’s Department says the case originated from a complaint made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The office says that several items were seized in the search warrant that contained evidence in the case.
