Felony charges against a 34-year-old Deer Park man were dismissed on June 9 on technical grounds.
U.S. District Judge Justin Quackenbush ruled that the search warrant used to find more than 600 child pornography images on Andrew V. Davis’ computer was invalid because police failed to disclose when seeking the search warrant that key information came from a girl who had lied to detectives in other cases.
It is alleged that Davis received those images from September 2005 to November 2009.
Davis, a convicted sex offender, faced a minimum of 15 years in federal prison if convicted.

A herd of sheep on a farm on McDougal Road were the latest domestic animals attacked by pack of wild dogs last week.
The animals, owned by Eric and Debbie Keller of Deer Park, were being housed at Jim and Doreen Carlson’s (Mrs. Keller’s parents) ranch. The dogs killed four sheep and wounded 13 others.
The sheep, the 4-H projects of the Keller’s four children, were taken to the Carlson ranch on May 30 and were attacked the following night.
Keller said her parents’ dog barked that night but nothing out of the ordinary.
