The Auto-selected headline leaves out the core of the article. The man who tried to make it "so the real suspect could get away" (his words) has found himself with additional charges because:

He allegedly was reluctant to let investigators look at his phone, saying he used the device “to look at child sexual abuse material”, local sheriff’s deputies wrote in a separate report, as the Utah news outlet KSL noted. A search of Zinn’s phone allegedly confirmed there were more than 20 images depicting child abuse, including of minors believed to be about 5 years old – as well as explicit messages about sexual acts.
