From APD:

DETAILS: On 12/29/2021, at 6:45AM, the Amarillo Police Special Victims Unit executed a search warrant in the 1500 block of Lyles for Possession/ Distribution of Child Pornography. The investigation began with a NCMEC Cybertip from Dallas, Tx. During the search, multiple electronic items were seized for further investigation and child pornography was located on some of those devices.

Jason Maxwell, male, 03/04/1983 was arrested on scene and transported to the Potter County Detention Center. Maxwell was booked for 10 counts of Possession / Distribution of Child Pornography. The investigation is still on-going.

Possessing any child pornography is a serious felony crime. Child pornography victimizes innocent children and perpetuates a cycle of traumatization. The Amarillo Police Department continues to partner with NCMEC and is dedicated to investigating these crimes and holding offenders accountable.
