Wife Catches Husband With Child Porn After finding Meth

IRION COUNTY, TX--  Texas Rangers arrested an Irion County man Wednesday for possession with intent to promote child pornography.

47-year-old Douglas Loil Tankersley was arrested and booked into the Tom Green County jail after Texas Rangers interviewed his wife.  

While Tankersley's wife looking for flagging tape in his pants pocket she found a bag of methamphetamine.

After finding the drugs, she proceeded to look through her husband's IPhone to find who had sold him the narcotics.

She found several images of what she believed was child pornography. 

She then used her IPhone to record one video and seven photographs that she believed were children from the ages of three to twelve years of age, according to the affidavit from Irion County.

Mrs. Tankersley then contacted Texas Rangers and provided them with both IPhones.  Rangers reported that the images were child pornography. 

The affidavit states that Douglas Tankersley "did then and there intentionally and knowingly possess with intent to promote visual material that visually depicted, and which the Defendant knew visually depicted a child."

Douglas Tankersley was taken into custody and is jailed in lieu of $150,000 bond.  

Possession with intent to promote child pornography is a second degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
