Paul Eugene Breer lives near Carbondale. Breer, 81, is being held on $100,000 bond in the Eagle County jail pending his transfer to Chaffee County.

Deputies seized several computers and other electronic devices from the house after his arrest. They will be sent to an independent agency for forensic analysis.
