Police investigate apartment for child pornography and drugs

Lawrence police and a hazardous materials crew are on the scene of a south Lawrence apartment, where suspected child pornography, drugs and a jar of mercury have been found.

The police department received information Wednesday about the possible illegal activity at an apartment at 2560 Redbud Lane.

After investigating, officers obtained a search warrant which was executed at the residence today.

After the raid, Jeff Myer, the 31-year-old man who lives in the apartment , said that the incident was being blown out of proportion.

Officers seized the computers and will be examining them to see if they contain child pornography.
