A 23-year-old Maryville man has been arrested after being charged earlier this year with five counts of Possession of Child Pornography.

Garrett Warfield was charged March 2, 2015 with five felony counts of possession of child pornography.  He had been a student at Northwest Missouri State University.

“We believe he dropped out of school in January,” said Emily Barnett, Dispatcher with the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office.

A tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force, based in Platte County to start investigating Warfield.  That’s according to Jerin Almond with the Platte County Sheriff’s Office.

Warfield was arrested by the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Dept. Friday, June 5 around 11 a.m. at his Maryville home located in the 2500 block of Aurora Ave.

He is currently being held on $100,000 bond cash or surety.

An arraignment is set for Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Nodaway County.
