A pastor of a Cottage Grove church is under arrest on suspicion of child porn possession, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Thursday.
BCA agents arrested the 47-year-old Pine City man after executing search warrants. He's being held in Pine County Jail.
The state's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force searched the man's home with the help of the Pine County Sheriff's Office. They also searched the Cottage Grove Lutheran church he serves.
BCA officials said the investigation continues and charges are still pending.
A woman who answered the phone at the church declined comment.
