Englewood police and “mental health responders” conducting a welfare check on a 73-year-old man in metro Denver last week arrested and jailed him because they found evidence of child pornography in plain view, the police said in a media release statement.

The Englewood Police Department issued the statement Wednesday saying they have arrested and jailed Homer Daniel Lewis, of 1401 East Girard Place, as a suspect.

Lewis was arrested and jailed March 2 on suspicion of Sexual Exploitation of a Child after officers and mental health responders contacted him and entered his residence, the statement said.

On March 3, detectives with a search warrant went to the residence and located additional evidence, according to the police department statement.

Lewis was released on a personal recognizance bond by an Arapahoe County court, police said. But he failed to appear Wednesday for his court date. He was charged formally with five counts for sexual exploitation of a child and the court issued a warrant for his arrest.

Englewood police then on Wednesday arrested him at his home.
