Man arrested four years after warrant was issued

A 36-year-old man was arrested Tuesday on a 2015 warrant on 12 counts related to child pornography, according to an arrest report.

The Metropolitan Police Department first began investigating Elias Burrolaruiz in November 2013 after his computer was flagged as a “download candidate for suspected child pornography files,” according to Burrolaruiz’s arrest report.

Officers executing a search warrant in February 2014 seized Burrola-ruiz’s computer, hard drives and memory sticks.

During the search, Burrola-ruiz admitted to police that he had downloaded child pornography, according to the arrest report.

In October 2014, a Metro forensic examiner found more than 222 images and videos of “child exploitation” on Burrola-ruiz’s computers and hard drives, according to the report.

An arrest warrant for Burrola-ruiz was executed on February 4, 2015, the report said. He was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography depicting a person under age 16 and two counts of distributing child pornography.

The suspect was arrested on the outstanding warrants Tuesday after a vehicle stop near Martin Luther King Boulevard and Washington Avenue in the central Las Vegas Valley, according to the report.

Burrola-ruiz’s whereabouts from February 2014 to Tuesday were unclear.

On Wednesday, he was granted house arrest without access to the internet, court records show. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 4.
