Decatur police have arrested a man on multiple charges of possessing child pornography.

Christopher Newell Schuknecht, 50, faces five charges of possession of obscene material, according to court records.

He is being held in the Morgan County Jail on $250,000 bond.

According to Decatur police, investigators in January received information about a Decatur resident in possession of child sexual abuse material. According to one charging document, an investigator received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a Google account storing child sexual abuse material. The tip provided the IP address used to access the material.

The Decatur Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit began looking into the tip.

Schuknecht was arrested after a search warrant was executed at his residence Monday.

The investigation is continuing.
