On Thursday, Dec. 14, detectives with the Indiana State Police Bremen Post and Special Investigations Section arrested a Mentone man on alleged charges of possession of child pornography.
The investigation by the ISP began when a tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The tip ultimately led to a search warrant being served on a residence in the 5000 block of West Wood Duck Drive in Mentone.
As a result of the investigation, David John Ellenberger, 35, of 5922 W. Wood Duck Drive, Mentone, was arrested for possession of child pornography. Ellenberger was taken to the Kosciusko County Jail and booked at 12:28 p.m. Thursday on the preliminary charge of distributing/possession of child pornography. His initial bond was set at $15,250.
The ISP encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation and enticement-type crimes against children to the National center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The NCMEC website can be accessed through the ICAC Task Force website at https://www.in.gov/isp/icactf/
