On August 9, 2019 a deputy with the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office assigned to the US Marshals Task Force, arrested 65-year-old, Carlton Snyder on the charge of sexual exploitation of children (possession, a 4th degree felony) after receiving a tip that led to an investigation. On August 2, 2019 detectives executed a search warrant for the residence of Snyder and seized four cell phones, three tablets, two hard drives, two thumb drives, a digital camera, and three desk top computers. A few days later, detectives performed a forensic examination of several collected items from the search warrant and located at least seven, sexual images containing young girls that appeared to be under the age of 12.
