A Batesville man has been arrested on a child pornography charge after a tip to Columbus police.

Officers arrested 19-year-old Joseph F. Freyer on Monday after receiving a tip about illicit images on his laptop computer, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police. Officers were working on a search warrant when Freyer showed up at his Poshard Drive apartment and was taken into custody. Detectives allegedly found the images on the computer and his apartment was also searched after the search warrant was granted.
