Palmer man wanted on child pornography charges

Law enforcement officials are looking for a 30-year-old Palmer man charged with 20 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography, Alaska State Troopers reported.

On March 16, Treyvon Johnson was indicted on 10 counts of distributing child pornography, 10 counts of possessing child pornography and one count of evidence tampering, court records show.

Troopers wrote in an online dispatch Friday that the indictment "stems from an ongoing investigation" that started on Jan. 21.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Johnson, according to troopers. His bail is set at $50,000, plus a third-party custodian.

Public records show Johnson has lived in Alaska since 2010, with past addresses in Anchor Point and Anchorage.
