Lisle police said they arrested 21-year-old Garrett Kappel on five counts of child pornography.
Police said they were able to track Kappel through his computer's IP address.
An investigation led detectives to the 500 block of Hitchcock Avenue, the same block where Kappel lives. There, images and videos containing child pornography were allegedly found on a phone and computer hard drive.
Kappel is in jail pending a court hearing.
Further information was not immediately available.
