HOUMA - State Police arrested a Texas Man in Terrebonne Parish Tuesday and charged him with possession of child pornography.

The investigation began earlier this month when law enforcement began searching for Thomas Walker, 20, for violating the terms of his probation. After troopers arrested Walker, he was extradited back to Texas for the probation warrant.

Troopers say Walker, who is a convicted sex offender, gave them reason to believe that his phone may contain pornographic images of children during the course of their investigation. A search warrant was obtained and State Police found "numerous" images on the device.

Walker was booked on the charges in Texas, where he is currently incarcerated, and will be now be extradited back to Louisiana to face the charges.
