A laundromat manager from Rancho Cucamonga was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of possession of child pornography thanks to a tip from Twitter, police said.
On March 15, Twitter became aware of a child porn image uploaded by a user and, as federally mandated, filed a report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department.
Detectives served a search warrant at the home of 34-year-old Fred Salazar and took him into custody after examining his electronic devices, police said.
Salazar was released from custody Tuesday night after posting $50,000 bail.
Police said Salazar lives near an elementary school, and there could be more victims.
Neighbors were stunned at the accusations against Salazar.
"He seemed like a really nice guy," Julio Escoto, a neighbor, said. "I'm just speechless. I don't know what to say. I'm really shocked."

One other resident however said she was concerned with Salazar's behavior toward her daughters, and warned them to stay away from him.
