For Immediate Release
Feb. 3, 2026
PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Daquan Eric Ball, 22, of McDavid, on 14 counts of failure of a sexual offender to report an email address or internet identifier. FDLE also arrested Jordan Quinones, 29, of Pensacola, on one federal charge of possession of obscene visual representation of the sexual abuse of children. These arrests are the result of FDLE’s statewide initiative to locate and arrest criminals targeting children and sharing files depicting the sexual abuse of children.
Both investigations were initiated after FDLE agents received cybertips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
As part of FDLE’s investigation into Ball’s crimes, agents conducted a search warrant at Ball’s residence on January 28 and seized Ball’s cell phone. A preliminary forensic analysis revealed Ball had 14 unreported email addresses and internet identifiers, including TikTok, Discord, Adult Friend Finder and FeetFinder.com accounts. Ball was arrested and transported to the Escambia County Jail.
FDLE’s investigation into Quinones’ crimes revealed he had failed to report four email addresses and five online accounts. Following an interview with FDLE, Quinones reported those accounts to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators conducted a forensic analysis of Quinones’ electronic device, which revealed hundreds of file of computer-generated child sexual abuse material.
On January 21, a grand jury returned an indictment in Quinones’ case. FDLE, with the assistance of the United States Marshal Service, arrested Quinones on February 2 on the federal warrant and transported him to the Santa Rosa County Jail.
Ball’s case is being prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney for the First Judicial Circuit. Quinones’ case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Florida.
Both investigations remain active.
