A Shreveport man was arrested by U.S. marshals in Ohio after Caddo detectives found over a thousand videos and photos of child pornography and animal sexual abuse in his posession, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

During a forensic investigation, Detective Thomas Lites with the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office Cyber Crimes Unit discovered Darren Dew, 32, had downloaded, saved and uploaded pornography involving children as young as three years old. Det. Lites also found evidence of a dog being sexually abused. Dew fled to Ohio shortly after finding out about the investigation. 

Darren Dew, 32, was arrested on Tuesday, August 30. He will be extradited to Caddo Correctional Center and charged with 1694 counts of child pornography and one count of animal sexual abuse.
