Arkansas Corrections Officer and Louisiana Deputy Arrested in Juvenile Pornography Cases

A Pope County, Arkansas, corrections officer was arrested after an investigation by Arkansas State Police and the Department of Homeland Security and fired from his job. Chance Michael Panther, 26, faces allegations involving the distribution, viewing and possession of child sexual abuse material; the sheriff said the alleged conduct occurred off duty and did not involve jail computers. Separately, Louisiana authorities arrested former Caddo Parish reserve deputy Cody Daniels, 33, after a CyberTipline report prompted an investigation. Daniels faces one count of pornography involving juveniles and two counts of indecent behavior with juveniles, and the case remains under investigation.
