The Seattle Seahawks Security Manager was arrested and charged with crimes of possessing and dealing child pornography. The KING 5 Investigators first broke the news on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

Seattle Police SWAT Team members executed a search warrant on the Renton home of 41-year-old Aaron Miyasato, a longtime Seahawks employee, on Tuesday morning. He also ran a side photography business.
