Barnes was actively wanted on an outstanding, full-extradition warrant issued out of Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the intelligence share, CCPD\u2019s Special Investigations Unit and Patrol Division were mobilized to locate the subject. On September 22, officers made contact with Barnes at a retail location at 1619 Del Prado Boulevard South in Cape Coral.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CCPD verified Barnes\u2019s identification and confirmed the active full-extradition arrest warrant from the Louisiana State Police, which details the following charges:<\/p>\n<p>27 Counts: Production of Child Sexual Abuse Material Under the Age of 131 Count: Computer-Aided Solicitation of a Minor1 Count: Indecent Behavior with Juveniles<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barnes was transported to the Lee County Jail, where he remains held pending extradition to Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This operation underscores the critical importance of seamless interagency communication.
