David John Ellenberger

MENTONE — On Thursday, Dec. 14, detectives with the Indiana State Police Bremen Post and Special Investigations Section arrested a Mentone man on alleged charges of possession of child pornography.

This investigation by the ISP began when a tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip ultimately led to a search warrant being served on a residence in the 5000 block of West Wood Duck Drive in Mentone.

As a result of the investigation, David Ellenberger, 35, Mentone, was arrested for possession of child pornography and taken to the Kosciusko County Jail.

ISP encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the NCMEC. The NCMEC website can be accessed through the ICAC Task Force website.
