A Columbia man has been charged with a pair of felonies after authorities claim he possessed child sex abuse files and drugs.
Daniel Haase, 42, was charged on Wednesday in Boone County with possessing child sex abuse material and drug possession. He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
Two probable cause statements were filed in the case, with the first saying authorities received a cybertip on Nov. 27 about child sex abuse materials being stored in cloud-based storage platform. An IP address was associated with a cellphone and data provided by an internet provider on Dec. 22 traced it to Haase’s address, the statement says.
Additional data from March 18-May 7 determined that 75 videos and 400 images, which included an image of Haase’ driver’s license, were saved to the platform, the statement says.
A second probable cause statement says deputies found 10 grams of psilocybin mushrooms on Haase’s kitchen counter while they served the warrant for child sex abuse materials on Tuesday.
