LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) — Lafayette Police Department officers on Wednesday arrested a 22-year-old man for possession of child pornography.
At 5 p.m. Wednesday, Lafayette officers, in partnership with the Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Major Crimes Unit and the High-Tech Crimes Unit, executed a search warrant in the 1800 block of Underwood Street. This stemmed from a long-term investigation into child sexual abuse material that began in late 2023.
