Joint Investigation Leads to Child Pornography Arrest





January 17, 2019

A Levy and Marion County Sheriff’s Office joint investigation conducted on January 16, 2019 resulted in the arrest of Davin Slone (4-17-93) of Inglis. A tip was received by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Division which launched the investigation. The tip revealed a previously unidentified individual was using internet sites to search and share images of children engaged in various sexual activities. The investigation determined the “user” did reside in the Town of Inglis in Levy County.

Investigators from both agencies worked together to secure a search warrant for the home located at 77 Park Street in Inglis. Davin Slone was located at this home and identified as the user of the internet service. Investigators seized electronic devices owned by Slone and discovered he downloaded and shared a minimum of three images depicting children under the age of 18 engaged in sexual activities.

Slone was arrested and charged with three counts of possession of obscene pornographic material (child pornography). He is being held in the Levy County Detention Facility in lieu of a $450,000.00 bond.
