BROOKSVILLE, Fla. - A Brooksville man was arrested on Friday after deputies said he was found with child pornography. 

The Hernando County Sheriff's Office said Donald Havlik was identified as a suspect after detectives received information about child pornography back in October. 

Havlik's social media accounts were searched by investigators after a judge in Hernando County authorized a search warrant for those accounts.
