Lt. John Jenal says the warrant was served Thursday at the Simmons home in Benedict Canyon near Beverly Hills.

Jenal says the detectives involved want to emphasize that Simmons and his family were "extremely cooperative" and none of them are suspected of a crime.

According to this note, it sounds like someone had downloaded some child porn on his computer in his house. Given Simmons' history of supporting George Bush, and likely having a lot of Republican friends in his house, this sounds like a good possibility.

On the behest of the Nevada Crimes Against Children Unit, I guess.
