A man who attempted to prank his friend by taking a selfie and changing the wallpaper on his phone as a joke made a horrifying discovery.
Hernando County sheriff’s deputies say a call came in after a man said he had found obscene material on his friend’s phone.
The man told deputies that his friend, and former co-worker, Jody Fletcher, 55, of Spring Hill, had come to his home to visit and accidentally had left his phone behind.
As a joke, the man planned to take a funny photo of himself and make it the phone’s wallpaper.

He immediately called law enforcement. Detectives secured a warrant and found 74 images of child porn. Fletcher declined to speak with detectives after being arrested.
Fletcher, 55, is facing charges including possession of 10 or more child pornography images and use of a two-way device to facilitate a felony.
