MT. VERNON — A 45-year-old Mt. Vernon man is in the Jefferson County Jail following his arrest Tuesday for alleged possession of child pornography.

Gregory A. Garrison was reportedly arrested on the charge Wednesday without incident after a search warrant was executed at his residence in the 100 block of Juniper Court in Mt. Vernon.

The Mt. Vernon Police Department reportedly received information on August 25 suspected criminal activity involving child pornography at that address and requested assistance from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

The investigation by Sheriff’s Office detectives led to a search warrant at the Juniper address, which reportedly resulted in the recovery of evidence and led to Garrison’s arrest. He remains in the Jefferson County Jail awaiting the formal filing of charges and the setting of bail.
