The actions of 31-year-old Adam William Carroll of Omaha has led to his arrest and 40 felony counts of possessing images depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

A short time later, Carroll was located in the woods, face down with a camouflage jacket covering him. A bag of marijuana and a weed pipe were reportedly found in Carroll’s back pocket. A cellphone was located and seized.
Utilizing a search warrant in an effort to locate photos and messages pertaining to the alleged theft of items, approximately 40 images of young children, nude, partially clothed and some engaged sexually were discovered on the cellphone.
