ENID, Okla. — A Vance Air Force Base airman remained jailed on Monday after his arrest last week on child pornography complaints.

Senior Airman Garren S. Mallette was taken into custody Nov. 25 as part of a six-week undercover online investigation by the Enid Police Department, officials said. Mallette has not been formally charged and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Police Lt. Bryan Skaggs, who heads the Internet Crimes Against Children unit, identified an Internet protocol address that belonged to Mallette, according to police. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations executed a search warrant on Mallette’s dormitory room Nov. 19 and found several videos of preteen boys engaged in sex acts, police said.

Mallette, who was on leave out of state during the search, was stopped about 8:30 p.m. at the base’s main gate and detained while a search warrant for his vehicle was obtained, police said.

According to news release from the department, scrapbook pages containing numerous photographs of child porn were found in the vehicle. Officers also are conducting forensics on computer equipment and media storage that was found, police Capt. Dean Grassino said.
