Editor's note:  The Tulsa County jail lists Bookout's home address as Broken Arrow, but the OSBI lists it as Tulsa.  News On 6 has decided to refer to him as a Tulsa resident.

A 25-year-old Tulsa man was arrested Tuesday night following an undercover operation into the sharing of child pornography over the Internet.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation's Crimes Against Children unit arrested Matthew Bookout on two criminal warrants.

Bookout is charged with one count each of Aggravated Possession of Child Pornography and Distribution of Child Pornography.

He was arrested at a Tulsa home in the 8700 block of South Lakewood by Tulsa Police and OSBI agents.

The OSBI says a search of a computer seized in the home revealed more than 100 images containing child pornography.

The OSBI says no local child victims have been identified in the images.

Bookout posted a $20,000 bond and was released from the Tulsa County jail. He is scheduled for a February 8, 2012 hearing in Tulsa County District Court.
