The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in connection with an investigation involving internet crimes against children.

According to the sheriff’s office, the investigation began last month when deputies learned that upload activity was happening in Tangipahoa Parish and the case was referred to the TPSO Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
Once the activity was traced back to Stewart, a warrant was obtained for his arrest and he was taken into custody Tuesday morning, according to TPSO.
The sheriff’s office said several electronic devices were seized and will be analyzed for additional evidence.
