CyberTipline report leads to arrest

On March 31, Creek County Investigators received a CyberTipline report from the popular online platform Discord, a free social networking and communication app. Discord had flagged a local IP address for viewing, uploading, and taking screenshots of apparent child pornography, and relayed that information to our investigators. After executing a digital search warrant through Google, the files were determined to be child pornography; over 100 images were uploaded from the IP address from April 7 through April 15. Investigators pinpointed the physical location of the IP address and were able to identify the occupants of the residence. On April 29, investigators and deputies served a search warrant on the address and recovered four cell phones, an Xbox hard drive, and a laptop that all belonged to the suspect. David Brown, 32, of Mounds, was arrested without incident, and charged with two counts of child pornography, and one count each of computer crimes and unlawful use of communications. His bond has been set at $325,000.00. This is an arrest, not a conviction.
