EMPHASIS: Harrisonville Man Arrested For Possession Of Child Pornography

Captain Eric T. Olson, director of the Division of Drug and Crime Control, announces the arrest of Dwight A. Davis, 46, of Harrisonville, Missouri, on three counts of possession of child pornography, on June 17, 2015. The arrest was the result of a lengthy investigation conducted by members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Unit and the Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. Davis is being held in the Cass County Jail. The Patrol was assisted by officers of the Cass County Sheriff's Office.

The Cass County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Davis with the three counts of possession of child pornography and bond was set at $50,000 cash or surety.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is part of the Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The task force is supported through funding made available by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency and administered by Missouri’s Department of Public Safety.

The above charges are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of these charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
