Adam Hawhee, who made headlines last summer for alleged crimes against children, faces 26 counts of child porn possession and two counts of child enticement.
Investigators say in March of 2020, Hawhee approached two 7-year-olds, asking them if they wanted a ride. Police say Hawhee called one of the children cute, and reportedly asked to take their picture. Similar incidents were reported later, dating back to August 2013.
Hawhee was arrested last April and again in July when new allegations arose, but he failed to show up for a court appearance in December. A warrant for Hawhee’s arrest was issued, and now he s been placed on the Most Wanted list.
