A sixth-grade teacher's computer contained child pornography, according to Warrensburg, Mo., police who seized it.

Police took David B. Shanks, 31, into custody on Thursday at his Warrensburg apartment.

Shanks taught students in Holden.

Prosecutors accused him of enticement of a child and promoting child pornography.

His arrest stemmed from an Internet investigation conducted by an undercover Kirksville, Mo., police officer who posed as a 13-year-old boy.

Shanks, who police said also had a Web cam, was being held in Johnson County, Mo., on a $250,000 bond.
