(WSB Radio) -- A veteran member of the Alpharetta Fire Department is free on bond, charged with six counts of sexual exploitation of children. 

An investigation by the GBI's High Technology Unit found child pornography images on two computers, a desktop unit and a laptop, owned by Captain Tristen Cruz.

GBI spokesman John Bankhead told WSB's Mark Alewine the arrest stemmed from "a major federal investigation into child porn."  Bankhead said "the Feds who are working on this case came up with a name out of Georgia and turned it over to the High Technology Unit at the GBI to look at."  Bankhead said the case could lead to more arrests in Georgia.

A statement e-mailed to WSB by the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety indicates that Cruz has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending completion of the GBI's investigation.

What others are saying

  • Shut up
    He is inncoent so shut up
  • He is my brother and I know him better than almost anyone. I'm with you sarah. He is a great man that has spent his adult life helping people. It is really sad that so many people would pass judgement on someone with so very little evidence.
  • innocent until proven guilty
    remember that his fate is for the courts to decide, not yours. there are not very many facts being reported and you would not like that happening to you.
  • He's know hero
    WOW!
  • He's know hero
    This is very upsetting. Firemen are suppose to be pillars of the community! You got busted...Fight your way outta this Mr. Fireman!
