FATE, Texas - A man from the Rockwall County city of Fate is facing charges for the possession of child pornography for the second time in less than six months.
Fate Child Pornography Arrest
What we know:
Fate police arrested a resident on Tuesday and charged him with three counts of possession of child pornography and one count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
City officials said investigators got a tip about the suspect in December from the Dallas Police Department thanks to a data system created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Investigators searched the suspect’s home and found evidence related to the charges on electronic devices.
The suspect was booked into the Rockwall County jail, city officials said.
