The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office arrested Little River resident Timothy Allen Arthur, 65, on one count of solicitation of a child.

On Oct. 5, BCSO made the arrest after an investigation prompted by a complaint of child pornography being spread by students at Bay Minette Elementary School.

The Bay Minette Police Department received the initial complaint. Officers collected cell phones from students and turned them over to the Baldwin Couty Cyber Crimes Unit for processing and analysis.

The digital forensic analysis uncovered illegal communications between the suspect and a 12-year-old girl. Arthur was interviewed and reportedly admitted to illegal communications between himself and the juvenile.

A search warrant was served on his cellular device at the time of his arrest and is currently being processed. Additional charges are anticipated.
