UC Davis detectives are continuing their investigation of a campus employee who was arrested yesterday afternoon for the unlawful use of university computers as well as possession of child pornography.

Christopher Bowers, 48, of Davis, was taken to Yolo County Jail following an investigation by law enforcement agencies from UC Davis, the Davis Police Department and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Hi-Tech Crimes Unit. The suspect's computer equipment from his home and work site was collected by the authorities after a search warrant was issued on Tuesday. Bowers is employed at UC Davis as a senior planner and estimator for operations and maintenance and has been placed on an administrative leave. He has been an employee on the Davis campus since 1991.

Bowers was arrested on campus after an arrest warrant was issued by the Yolo County Superior Court, charging two felony counts of unlawful use of computer equipment and five misdemeanor counts of possession of child pornography. His bail was set at $25,000.
