MARYVILLE
A two-week investigation concluded Thursday with the arrest of a Seymour man on charges that his computer contained images of child pornography.
Officers with the Blount County Sheriff's Office charged Aaron Tate Hedrick, 33, of Hinkle Road, with one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, according to a release from BCSO spokeswoman Marian O'Briant.
Hedrick was arrested Thursday at his home after officers with the Hi-Tech Evidence and Technology Unit/Internet Crimes Against Children executed a search warrant at his home. Hedrick's computer, O'Briant said, contained more than 150 images of child pornography.
Hedrick is being held in the Blount County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Friday in Blount County General Sessions Court.
O'Briant said she was unsure of the nature of Hedrick's employment or if he was involved in any children's activities.
