BUCHANAN, Ga. - A 52-year-old Buchanan man was arrested in a multi-agency operation targeting illegal firearms and child pornography.

Stephen Scott Knight was charged with five counts of possession of child pornography and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was booked into the Haralson County jail on Aug. 1.

Investigators said they had received dozens of tips leading them to Knight. While executing a search warrant, electronic devices and two firearms were seized from his bedroom.

"This case involved multiple jurisdictions and a lot of moving parts. It took a great amount of teamwork, and I could not be prouder of everyone that was involved in this case," stated Sheriff Stacy Williams. "Child cases of any type are generally some of the worst that investigators see; a child pornography case of this magnitude takes a lot of work behind the scenes. I appreciate Sgt. Duggins and the job he has done, and I appreciate all of the other agencies that have worked so hard to get this individual in custody and to get a lot of illegal guns off the streets."

Another search warrant was issued for a property he owned in Gadsden, Alabama, where investigators said more firearms were found.

Investigators added that child sexual abuse material was found on the electronic devices seized during those raids.
