Chenango County fugitive arrested in Montana
CHENANGO COUNTY – A Bainbridge man who had jumped bail after pleading not guilty to charges of possessing child pornography was arrested Sunday in Missoula County, Montana.
Mark Cunningham, 45, was arrested March 15, 2007 for an incident that allegedly took place on May 21, 2006. He was originally charged with disseminating indecent material to a minor in the first degree, a D-felony, and possessing a sexual performance by a child, an E-felony.
Cunningham was charged with possessing child pornography on his home computer. According to court reports, he allegedly got involved in an online chat with an individual who threatened to blackmail him for $500. Cunningham contacted police and handed over his computer in response to the threat. He was arrested soon after because police said they discovered images of underage children on his hard drive.
“Mark Cunningham was charged with criminal possession of child pornography. A warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to show up for court appearances,” District Attorney Joseph McBride explained.
Cunningham pleaded not guilty in Chenango County Court. He was released on a $20,000 bail bond, and then reportedly failed to report for numerous court appearances.
Chenango County Court Judge W. Howard Sullivan signed a warrant for Cunningham’s arrest Sept. 13.
According to The Associated Press, the Missoula County Sheriff’s Deputies received a tip last week that Cunningham was in the area. They arrested him on Friday at Lolo Hot Springs, a resort about 35 miles southwest of Missoula. He is being held as a fugitive from justice. Plans for extradition may follow.
