The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations arrested a man accused of 15 counts of child pornography possession.

The OSBI said Bixby Police initially received a tip about child sex abuse images belonging to 34-year-old Zachary Earl Lippoldt, a Tecumseh resident, on April 8, 2025.

Bixby Police contacted Tecumseh Police and the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, where a warrant was served on May 21st.

Investigators say Lippoldt admitted to downloading the images, and that there were four children in the home. Lippold was arrested and booked into the Pott. County Jail on a $200,000 bond.

The children are currently in the care of a family member.

"This is still an ongoing investigation and additional charges are pending through the Pottawatomie County District Attorney’s Office," OSBI shared online.
