The initial probation revocation appearance for former Neosho businessman Blake Altman, 42, is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday in U. S. District Court in Springfield.
The hearing was scheduled after Altman was arrested January 13 by the Newton County Sheriff's Office on a Montgomery County, Texas warrant for promotion of child sexual abuse material.
The charges against Altman were almost identical to the possession of child pornography charge that led to a grand jury indictment in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri in 2015.
Altman was sentenced to six years in prison on November 29, 2017, to be followed by 10 years under supervised release.
Altman was released from prison in 2021.
