PINEHURST –– A Pinehurst man was arrested Tuesday after a search warrant turned up hundreds of digital files containing sexually explicit images of children.  

Gregg McFarlane, 51, was taken into custody after admitting to having the images after the search warrant was executed at his Pinehurst apartment by various members of law enforcement belonging to the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC).  

According to the probable cause affidavit (PCA), police became aware of McFarlane’s actions after an IP address belonging to McFarlane was found to be downloading numerous files believed to be containing sexually explicit materials of children.
