(KATV) — The Pope County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center has announced that 26-year-old Chance Michael Panther, a male corrections officer at the detention center, has been arrested following an investigation by the Arkansas State Police and Homeland Security.

Panther was terminated from his position and taken into custody by Arkansas State Police and Homeland Security immediately after the launch of the investigation.

He was taken into custody on charges of alleged distribution, viewing, and possession of child sexual abuse material.

Sheriff Wilson stated that these alleged incidents did not take place while Panther was on duty or using the Detention Center computers.

He continued his statement, saying that the allegations against Panther happened outside of the Detention Center and do not reflect the professionalism and conduct that is expected of the employees that work there.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський on X: “Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. As of now, sadly, twelve people have been confirmed killed, including three children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another fourteen people have been injured, and two of them are in critical condition – the doctors are fighting to save their lives. The status of twelve more people who may have been there is still being verified. All emergency services are at the scene, and search-and-rescue operations are underway. Overnight, thirteen of our regions came under attack. Residential buildings, infrastructure, and railway facilities have been damaged. Last night confirmed once again that in Russia, they take any easing of pressure to mean they can keep fighting, to mean they can keep dropping bombs on cities. Different signals are needed. Russia must understand that it needs to stop the war, and for that to happen, Russia must feel its losses. Right now, it is our long-range capabilities that are ensuring this. And we will respond to Russian strikes. I thank everyone who is helping.”
