Investigators seized electronic devices and referred two counts of possession of child pornography for charging consideration, officials said.
On Wednesday, Thomas William Johnson, 51, superintendent of the Union Grove Union High School District, was arrested in connection with an alleged child pornography investigation.
The Racine County Sheriff referred the investigation to Kenosha County authorities on October 27, 2026, prompting deputies to execute a search warrant at Johnson's Salem Lakes residence Wednesday morning.
Investigators seized multiple electronic devices from the home and referred two counts of possession of child pornography to the Kenosha County District Attorney; charges remain pending.
