Drumright Man Arrested, Accused Of Child Pornography

A tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) leads Oklahoma authorities to a Drumright man accused of hoarding sexually explicit images of children on his computer.

The investigation began when America Online (AOL) noticed someone was using a website to upload child pornography. AOL passed the information on to the NCMEC, which then contacted Oklahoma authorities. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) and the Sapulpa Police Department identified that person as 43-year-old Drumright resident Alan S. Golden.

Thursday morning, OSBI agents along with Drumright police officers served a search warrant at Golden's house in the 600 block of W. Maple. They seized his computer equipment and found several images of child porn. The OSBI Computer Crimes Unit will examine the equipment for more evidence.

Golden was booked into the Drumright Police Department Detention Center on four counts of possession of child pornography, and one count of violation of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act.

Investigators are trying to determine if any local children were used in the pornographic images.
