Detectives arrested 57-year-old Donald Glunt, who was taken into custody without incident.
According to investigators, Glunt had recently resigned his position with the Lynden Police Department.
Detectives said the investigation originated after officials with the Lynden Police Department discovered images on Glunt’s city-owned cellphone while conducting an internal administrative investigation.
On Wednesday, Lynden Police Department’s Chief Jack Foster asked the Washington State Patrol to conduct a criminal investigation.
Detectives reviewed digital evidence and interviewed Glunt, which led to his arrest.
According to investigators, Glunt was trading images with a 16-year-old girl in Texas. Authorities in Texas assisted detectives by interviewing the victim.
The incident remains as an ongoing investigation.
Glunt was booked into the Skagit County Jail on charges of dealing and possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and viewing of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
