According to the Racine County Sheriff's Office, the investigation into 36-year-old Carlos Chaves began in November with a tip from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Investigators determined Chaves had uploaded three pictures/videos of child sexual abuse material to his Google Drive. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but at the time, his whereabouts were unknown.

Deputies located Chaves on Tuesday and placed him under arrest. He was transported to the Racine County Jail on a $25,000 cash bond.

Due to Chaves' undocumented status, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) placed a detainer on him, stating he is "subject to removal from the United States under federal immigration law" in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act.
