NODAWAY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Northwest Missouri man on multiple allegations after a search of his home.

In April, investigators identified an IP address associated with 53-year-old Craig A. Roberts of Maryville, Missouri, according to a media release from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control.

The IP address was of investigative interest in an active child pornography investigation.  On July 11, investigators conducted a search of Roberts' Maryville home, pursuant to a Nodaway County search warrant. 

Investigators found Roberts' computer and when it was examined they found multiple digital files of child pornography. Investigators also found meth.  Officers arrested Roberts on requested charges of possession of child porn, promoting child porn and possession of a controlled substance. He is being held on a $75,000 bond.
