POLK COUNTY, Texas (KETK)— An East Texas man was rearrested after being taken into custody and released on bond last week for possession of child pornography.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, 47-year-old Jose Sanchez was initially arrested on April 8 after he was found to be in possession of child pornography obtained from the internet. Following the arrest, Sanchez was charged with five counts of possession of child pornography and was released on bond the following day.

On Wednesday, Sanchez was rearrested from his home in Polk County after investigators processed the evidence collected during the initial search of his home and issued five additional warrants against him for possession of child pornography.
