According to Ottumwa Police records, a 25-year-old Illinois man was arrested after a Secret Service search of his backpack hours before a visit by President Barack Obama.

Police records indicate Thomas Persino, from Des Plaines, Ill., is charged with prohibited acts and possession of drug paraphernalia. The arrest happened at Indian Hills Community College while Secret Service agents were securing the area.

An ABC News spokesman said Persino was hired as a soundman to cover the presidential visit.
