MOUNT HOREB (WKOW) -- Mount Horeb Police arrested a Madison-area radio host on a temporary charge of possessing child pornography.
40-year-old Matthew B. Jones, who goes by the name "Jackson Jones" on-air, was arrested Wednesday according to Dane County Jail records.
Jones has been an on-air personality for Q106, a Dane County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said.
Q106 is a radio station that primarily programs country music.
Midwest Family, the company that owns Q106, did not immediately return a request for comment.
Mount Horeb police said in a press release sent Thursday that they were first tipped off about potential child porn possession in December 2020.
The tip spawned an investigation which led to a search warrant for an address in the 100 block of Ridge Drive.
Officers took electronics as evidence for future analysis and arrested Jones.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation and Dane County Sheriff's Office assisted police.
