SPRING HILL, Fla. — On Dec. 6, deputies were called to a home in Spring Hill regarding child pornography on a cell phone.
The caller was with their friend and coworker, Jody Fletcher, 55, who had stopped by to visit them.
According to authorities, the caller decided to play a joke on Fletcher by taking a picture of themselves on Fletcher's phone and making it his background since the phone was not password protected.
When the caller attempted to take a picture of themself and change the wallpaper on Fletcher's phone, they noticed multiple images of child pornography and immediately contacted HCSO.
According to HCSO, detectives obtained a search warrant for Fletcher's cell phone, and after taking possession of his cell phone, about 70 pictures of child pornography were found.
Detectives got a warrant for Fletcher’s arrest and a search warrant for his home to seize all electronic devices.
Fletcher was charged with possession of obscene material (10 or more child pornography images) and use of a two-way device to facilitate a felony. The bond for Fletcher was set at $7,000.
Fletcher bonded out of jail later the same day.
This case is ongoing. HCSO will provide updates as they become available.
