EDDINGTON — Maine State Police have arrested a day care provider and charged him with possession of child pornography.

Detective Special Agent Mike McFadden said 39-year-old Walter Ramsdell was arrested Wednesday at the Care-A-Lot Day Care, which is operated out of the family home in Eddington.

The State Police computer crimes unit focused on Ramsdell after a “database hit.”

McFadden told the Bangor Daily News that police found child pornography on Ramsdell’s computer showing children who appeared to be younger than 10. He said there’s no indication that any of the children on the computer were children at the day care center.
