Public Information Officer Debra Johnson reported to Historic City News that on Saturday, U.S. Marshalls arrested 33 year-old Michael Lagrande, in Las Vegas, Nevada, on a Flagler County warrant charging him with 21 counts of child pornography.
Lagrande resides on Riverview Bend South, in Palm Coast where the Sheriff’s Office says the crimes took place.
Flagler County Detective Elizabeth Conrad began an investigation into Lagrande’s visits to Internet sites in September after receiving information that child pornography had been stored on his computer.
Lagrande was picked up by the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force at around 11:25 a.m. at a home on East Bonanza Road in Las Vegas.
Monday, Detective Conrad confirmed that Lagrande will be extradited to Florida.
“These are heinous crimes which exploit innocent children, ” said Sheriff Donald W. Fleming. “The seriousness of these charges cannot be overstated and it is important that their prosecution is taken to the fullest extent possible.”
