Police responding to a drug complaint inside a south Louisville apartment said they stumbled upon one of the largest, most disturbing collections of child pornography they said they've ever seen.

"All I'll say is that these are some pretty heinous acts that we've come across," said Lt. Tom Dreher, head of the Metro Police Crimes Against Children Unit.

Dreher said detectives arrested Edward Dewey, 46, after he consented to let them search his Taylor Boulevard apartment Tuesday.

"When narcotics detectives examined the computer, just looked at some of the images on the computer, they determined that those images were of a child pornographic nature," Dreher said.

An arrest report said detectives found Dewey watching a child pornography DVD in his bedroom at the time and that they found images of children having sex on Dewey's computer and on storage devices seized from the apartment.

"We found some things there that lead us to believe that we have some actual victims of abuse at the hands of Mr. Dewey in our community," said Dreher. The arrest report said detectives found images of Dewey molesting what appeared to be a 2-year-old child.

Dewey now faces multiple charges, including distribution of matter portraying children in a sexual performance, possession of child pornography, use of a minor in a sexual performance, sex abuse, and possession of marijuana.

Records show this is Dewey's first ever arrest in Jefferson County.

Neighbors said the allegations were a surprise.

HENDERSON, Ky. - A 25-year-old press operator shot and killed five co-workers and himself at a plastics plant in rural western Kentucky just hours after arguing with his supervisor about not wearing safety goggles and using his cell phone while on the assembly line, police said Wednesday.

Authorities said Wesley N. Higdon of Henderson was so riled by the argument with his supervisor that he called his girlfriend and told her that he wanted to kill his boss. The girlfriend didn't warn anyone, police said, and just two hours later, Higdon argued with another co-worker then shot and killed his supervisor as they walked outside. Then, he returned and shot at co-workers in a break room and on the plant floor.

Authorities said Higdon was known to keep a .45-caliber pistol in his car, which is not illegal in Kentucky.

The first shooting took place as the supervisor was escorting him from the building. Other co-workers were shot in the break room and on the plant floor. One worker was injured and was being treated in the critical care unit at St. Mary's Hospital and Medical Center in Evansville, Ind.

According to the arrest report filed by Metro Police, Hughes said he was having family problems, and allegedly shot his half-sister first, then turned the gun on his stepmother.

The arrest report stated Hughes admitted to having sex with his stepmother's corpse.
