Miami County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrived at Waymire’s residence around 8:50 a.m. Tuesday with a search warrant and seized electronic devices containing child pornography, according to a release from sheriff’s office.

Waymire was taken into custody Tuesday and is held on $25,000 cash-only bail in the Miami County Jail.

He is next due in court April 4.

The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are likely after further review of the evidence seized, the sheriff’s office reported.
