LAKE COUNTY, Fla. --
A part-time Pasco County firefighter tried to turn in his wife in for extortion, but he was behind bars Monday Morning for allegedly possessing some of the worst child pornography detectives have ever seen.
Deputies said they found 15 movies on Adam Ward's personal laptop featuring children as young as two-years-old. In a voicemail, Marcy Ward told her husband she had his computer files and wanted money.
Detectives seized several of her computers, but it was in a hard drive Ward voluntarily handed over they found their evidence.
"Probably one girl, she was about 6 years old, give or take," said Det. Chris Loyko of the Lake County Sheriff's Office. "You could hear her crying in the background."
The movies were so graphic, a detective asked the judge to double Ward's bond. He was being held on $150,000 bond.
Ward's wife is still under investigation. Detectives plan to search the computers seized from her home, however, investigators say they believe she may have hidden or destroyed one of the computers they wanted to find.
