Marietta man faces eight felony porn counts

A Marietta man faces eight felony counts for allegedly having pornograph­ic videos of young girls on an iPad.

Brandon Paul Kahn was arrested Wednesday and bonded out of Cobb County jail the next day, jail records show.

According to his Marietta police arrest warrant, Kahn’s home in the 1600 block of Roswell Road was searched on a federal warrant.

In the home, police wrote, officers found an iPad with several child porn videos. The warrant didn’t say how they found out Kahn might have the illicit materials. The warrant said cops also found three rolled marijuana cigarettes and a felony amount of THC.

A condition of Kahn’s $50,000 bond was that he not “linger” anywhere children under 16 might congregate, according to the Cobb magistrate court website.

Third suspect in shooting death arrested

The third suspect wanted on charges in the shooting death of Anton Watson was arrested in recent weeks, Atlanta police said.

Jeremy Sims, who had been on the Atlanta Police Department’s top “most wanted” list, was arrested after a new address was establishe­d for him with assistance from the U.S. Marshal’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, police said. Officers surrounded the Stockbridg­e residence on Feb. 16 and knocked on the door to execute the warrant.

The homeowner who answered confirmed that Sims was inside, police said. Sims was called out and taken into custody without incident; he is currently in Fulton County jail on charges of murder, false imprisonme­nt, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Fellow suspects Shaquille Russ and Eranus Alexander Jr. were arrested in December and February, respective­ly.

Watson, the 35-year-old victim, was found slumped against the front door of a Cobb County residence on Oct. 25. Earlier that day around 2:50 a.m., officers arrived at a package store on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway to find several vehicles damaged from gunfire, but didn’t locate any victims.

About five hours later, Cobb County Police found Watson, of Smyrna, dead at a home on Golden Pine Road in Austell.

Atlanta and Cobb investigat­ors determined the shooting happened where the cars were found in Atlanta. Atlanta investigat­ors found probable cause to charge Sims, Alexander and Russ in connection with the homicide.
