North Bay Man Arrested for Allegedly Possessing Child Porn

Police arrested a man this morning in Napa on suspicion of possession of child pornography after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a police lieutenant said.

Brian Wood Sheahan, 58, of Napa, was arrested at a home in the 4200 block of Jefferson Street and booked in the Napa County Jail on one count of possession of child pornography, Lt. Debbie Peecook said.

Police received the tip from the NCMEC because the police department status is an affiliate agency of the Silicon Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, Peecook said.

Police investigated the tip and determined the source of the child pornography was the Jefferson Street home, Peecook said.

Sheahan was arrested during a search of the home, Peecook said.
