A man believed to have been involved with producing child pornography has been arrested, according to Louisiana State Police.

Officials say Chad Manuel, 49, of Basile, was arrested on June 27 after a search of his home turned up evidence of child pornography.

Manuel was charged with three counts of pornography involving juveniles and three counts of obstruction of justice.

Manuel was booked into the Evangeline Parish jail.
