Multiple search warrants for social media accounts, his residence in Roanoke Rapids and devices that were taken during the execution of his residence were obtained and executed.
On April 12 Watkins obtained an arrest warrant for Blount for eight counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
He was arrested by Corporal D. Harrison the following day and held on an $80,000 bond. He posted bond the following day but more information was obtained by Watkins and Blount was charged with five counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
Detective C. Watkins went to Blount’s home on April 18 and took him back into custody.
Then more information was obtained on Blount and on Friday additional social media search warrants were executed by Watkins. Nine additional counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and nine additional counts of third-degree sexual exploitation were lodged against him.
He remains in the Halifax County Detention Center.
