PANOLA COUNTY, Texas (KETK) — Officials have located hundreds of child pornography images at an East Texas house while conducting a search warrant.
Panola County deputies were contacted by the Louisiana State Police regarding an active investigation into child phonography that involved a Panola county resident. Officials obtained a search warrant and on Tuesday, Panola County authorities alongside Bossier Parish investigators executed the warrant at a residence on CR 3342.
“Multiple electronic devices containing hundreds of images of child sexual abuse material were seized for lab analysis,” the sheriff’s office said.
A second search warrant was conducted on a vehicle parked at the Panola County courthouse. Shawn Brian Clay, 41, was then booked into the Panola County Jail on one count of possession or promotion of child pornography.
The sheriff’s office thanked the Louisiana State Police Department and Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office in identifying and apprehending Clay.
