A Pittsburg County man has been arrested after deputies found child pornography inside his home.

When officers grabbed Upton, he allegedly yelled, “momma, go unplug my equipment.” His mother, Cathy Upton, was in the home.
Officers found “anime books” in Upton’s room, which showed juveniles having sex with adults. Sex toys and bondage restraints were also found in the room.
A computer and other electronic devices were taken from the home.
There were also boxes filled with books containing the content in Upton’s home. Some of the boxes had prepaid shipping labels on them.
Upton is being held on a $5,000,000 bond.
