California Highway Patrol Officer Arrested in Child Porn Case

A California Highway Patrol sergeant is facing child pornography charges in Solano County after a search of his personal car uncovered an external hard drive that contained child pornography videos.

The Sacramento Bee reports Eric Lund was freed Friday on bail following his arrest Thursday at the patrol's Fairfield office.

Vacaville and CHP officers arrested the 49-year-old Lund after a nearly two-month investigation.

Lund faces charges of possessing obscene matter depicting a minor in sexual acts and sending or selling obscene matter depicting a minor.

Officials said investigators using specialized software found in August that someone was downloading the illicit material in Suisun, Fairfield and Vacaville.

Lund's defense lawyer could not immediately be identified.
