West had relocated to Tallahassee approximately one year ago and was working at the Wal-Mart on Thomasville Road at the time of his arrest.

Bradford County investigators received information from Wisconsin authorities that a person in their area was sending pornography to minors since 2002. A search warrant was obtained identifying West as the suspect. Investigators interviewed West and he admitted to the allegations. Investigators also have information West collected child pornography. West allegedly told investigators he had attempted to meet with the children he communicated with but no such meeting took place.
