Investigations into the suspicious incidents led police to charge Adcock with second-degree child pornography on Monday. He was detained in the Camden County Correctional Facility.

Adcock was also charged with stalking on both Dec. 20 and Jan. 17, according to court records. Additional information on the charges, which have since been merged into one case, wasn't immediately available.
