Garrison was arrested at his home Tuesday morning without incident.

In March, troopers began an online investigation involving child pornography. Investigators obtained media files of child pornography that were being distributed online.

Troopers served a search warrant at around 5:10 a.m. Tuesday morning after learning Garrison's identity. They found multiple child pornography files on his electronic devices.
