A Fayetteville man was arrested last week after authorities said they found child pornography on his cellphone.

David Allan Burton, 31, was the subject of a federal search warrant as part of a child porn investigation, Fayetteville police spokeswoman Ann Marie Burdett told AJC.com.

Police helped U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents conduct the search warrant about 7 a.m. last Tuesday at Burton’s home, which is at an undisclosed location within the city, Burdett said. His cellphone was among the items searched.

Burton was charged with sexual exploitation of children and booked into the Fayette County Jail.
