KOSCIUSKO COUNTY -- The Bremen Post of the Indiana State Police (ISP) with help from the Special Investigations Section arrested a Mentone man on Thursday (Dec. 14) on alleged charges of possession of child pornography. 

"This investigation by the ISP began when a tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The tip ultimately led to a search warrant being served on a residence located at 5000 block of West Wood Duck Drive in Mentone, IN," ISP said in a release. 

"As a result of the investigation, David Ellenberger, 35 of Mentone, IN was arrested for Possession of Child Pornography. Ellenberger was taken to the Kosciusko County Jail."

The Indiana State Police encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the NCMEC.
