Cleburne County sheriff jails four in series of child solicitation & porn arrests
CLEBURNE COUNTY, Ark. – The Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office arrested four in a series of three child porn investigations beginning in September.
Deputies said they executed search warrants on three homes after investigations prompted by tips to the Arkansas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
In the first instance, a Greers Feery home was searched on Sept. 17 after an investigation regarding possible child sexual solicitation. Officials said the search led to the arrest of 38-year-old Michael Hutchins of Greers Ferry, who is facing charges of possessing matter depicting sexual conduct involving children. Hutchins is currently held in the Cleburne County Detention Center on a $15,000 bond.
A second search on Oct. 21 resulted in the arrest of two men after the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received a tip about child porn being shared through a messaging app. Department officials said a trace led to the IP address of the user, 29-year-old Daniel Liles of Heber Springs. Officials said that during a search, evidence was found that led to Liles’s arrest, and he is being held in the Cleburne County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.
During the search of Liles’s home, deputies found what they said was a large amount of narcotics and a gun with the serial number removed. The discovery led to the arrest of 19-year-old Davon Williams of Heber Springs for simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, drug possession and possession of a defaced firearm. Officials said he was booked into the detention center on a $30,000 bond and has since bonded out.
In the final instance, officials said on Nov. 25, investigators received a tip that 31-year-old Broch Romkee of Locust Grove had child porn stored on his phone. A search warrant on his home resulted in Romkee being taken into custody, where he is facing 14 counts of possession of child pornography. Officials said he is currently held in the Cleburne County Detention Center on a $350,000 bond.
