Bail is set at $100,000, in regard to a Mt. Vernon man’s arrest on Monday, for alleged possession of child pornography. According to the Chief Deputy, Jefferson County Sheriff’s detectives began to gather information several months ago and obtained a search warrant for 65-year-old Aaron Thomas. Thomas also had his computer seized, along with other items. Taylor says that the computer was searched and child pornography was found. That evidence was then taken to the Jefferson County State’s Attorney’s Office, where he presented the evidence in front of a judge, who then issued a warrant for his arrest. Thomas was ultimately arrested on the warrant and was taken to the Jefferson County Jail, where he will remain until his court appearance.
