A Kansas City man, 37-year-old Travis Cook, has pleaded guilty in federal court to child pornography charges. According to the U.S. Attorney for Western Missouri, Cook wouldn't open his door when authorities showed up:
Upon entering the hallway outside Cook’s apartment, the agent heard popping sounds as though CDs were breaking in half, and other sounds consistent with items being destroyed, coming from inside Cook’s apartment. The agent repeatedly knocked at Cook’s door and asked him to open the door, but Cook did not respond. The agent found a maintenance man for the apartment complex who opened the door to Cook’s apartment.
Agents noticed numerous papers and CD ROM disks strewn about the floor of the apartment and that the laptop’s monitor had been torn off its hinges. One agent noticed that something was burning in a skillet on the stove, which turned out to be the laptop’s melting RAM memory card.
