A 38-year-old Savannah man is being held in the Andrew County jail without bond after being arrested on suspicion that he possessed child pornography.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports Matthew Raya was arrested after an investigation that discovered alleged child porn on his cell phone. The patrol says investigators executed a search warrant on his residence in Savannah in late June.

The patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigations Unit conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Kansas City Police Department.
