MT. VERNON – The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department has released additional information regarding the Friday arrest of a 69-year-old Mt. Vernon woman on a child pornography charge.

According to the sheriff’s office, Pamela Hiatt was arrested Friday on a $75,000 Jefferson County warrant charging her with a Class 1 felony charge of child pornography.

The warrant was a result of a Sheriff’s Office Detective Division investigation, which was initiated on April 26 after receiving a cyber tip through their membership in the Internet Crimes against Children Task Force.

Search warrants were first obtained for digital records, which led to a search warrant served at a home in the 900 block of Warren Avenue on May 10. Evidence was reportedly recovered with the execution of each search warrant.

Hiatt was taken to the Jefferson County Jail where she posted bail and was released. No other information on Hiatt’s arrest has been released at this time.
