(clarifies to read 1 count aggravated misdemeanor, 1 Class-D felony count)

A search warrant executed this (Thursday) morning at a home in Council Bluffs resulted in the arrest of a Douglas County, NE. Corrections officer on a felony sex charge. Authorities say the Department of Homeland Security received a tip in December of 2015 from NCMEC (National Center for Missing or Exploited Children) that led to the arrest of 36-year old Shawn Beu, of Council Bluffs.

Through a joint investigation with members of the Department of Homeland Security and the Council Bluffs Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division, evidence obtained during the investigation was used to apply for an arrest warrant, and a search warrant for Beu’s home.

On the morning of March 3rd, members of both Agencies executed the search warrant on Beu’s home and subsequently arrested him on one count of sexual exploitation of a minor/1st offense, an aggravated misdemeanor, and a Class D felony charge sexual exploitation of minor.
