Title: Press Release

SUBJECT:  Timothy William Estep arrested for Possession of Child Pornography.

On 08/24/2022 Timothy William Estep, Age 33, of Fort Payne, AL, was arrested and charged with 50 counts of possession of child pornography.

After a tip was submitted to a Detective with the Fort Payne Police Department, who is a member of the Alabama Internet Crimes against Children’s Task Force, a search warrant was conducted at the residence of Timothy Estep.  With the information provided from the tip and evidence collected during the search warrant, Timothy was arrested and charged with 50 counts of child pornography.

Investigations of this nature are always difficult but successful when the community and the police department work together to keep our children safe. I want to thank both the detective division and patrol division in working together conducting a safe and successful search warrant and arrest of the suspect.

Timothy William Estep is currently in jail at the Dekalb County Detention Center. Bond has been set at $750,000.00. 

Thank you,

Chief David Davis

Fort Payne Police Department
