WATERTOWN - The Rev. Dennis A. Hayes, a pastor at St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran Church and School in Watertown, was arrested Thursday by the Watertown Police Department and state Division of Criminal Investigation on charges of possessing child pornography, Watertown police detective Tim Toomey said.

Watertown police were notified June 27 by the Rock County (Minn.) Sheriff's Department after they arrested Hayes for three counts of sexual contact with a minor, Toomey said. Hayes was released on bond and allowed to return home then, while the DCI and Watertown police investigate.

Hayes was taken to the Codington County Detention Center and released on bond. His first court appearance is July 15.
