Sources in law enforcement explained to the publication that the police were tipped that Paddock had the inappropriate images on his computer. The authorities obtained a search warrant and have now arrested him.

The investigation into Paddock reportedly began before his brother, Stephen Paddock, opened fire on concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 1.

The police were having difficulties locating Bruce, but after his brother enacted his attack, a tip came in about his whereabouts.

After conducting a search, the police did reportedly find inappropriate images of children on Bruce's computer. He was then placed under arrest by a joint task force that included the LAPD and FBI.
