Rolla man accused of having child porn on his phone

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Rolla man was charged on Monday in Phelps County with a count of possessing child pornography.

Paull Allen Dollar, 62, is being held at the Phelps County Jail on a $25,000 bond. A confined docket hearing is scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday.

The probable cause statement says police were called on Saturday and spoke with someone who had been posing as a 14-year-old girl online and had been talking with Dollar since November.

Dollar allegedly admitted to police that he “may have had nude pictures of underage females sent to him in the past but he believed he had deleted them,” the statement says. Police found two images on Dollar’s phone featuring sexually explicit images of children much younger than was previously listed, the statement says.

Police also wrote that they found other “sexual conversations” Dollar had with people who had sent him pictures of child, the statement says.
