According to Nichols' arrest affidavit, a Clay County Special Victims Unit detective received a cyber tip that Nichols might be in possession of child pornography.

The detective interviewed Nichols on May 26, but the content of that interview was redacted from the affidavit.

The affidavit indicated that the day after the interview, the detective went through the trash at Nichols' home and found electronic devices and mail that led to more electronic searches, which turned up images that a child protection team doctor determined were child pornography.

He will next be in court for a pre-trial hearing on Sept. 26.
