COVINGTON, Tenn. — Tipton County Sheriff’s Office has charged and arrested a man accused of buying child sexually abusive material over the internet on Friday, Oct. 18, 2024.
Detectives with the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office said they searched a home on Jamestown Rd., after receiving a cyber tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force regarding child sexual abuse material being purchased via social media.
During their investigation, detectives identified 22-year-old Noah N. Norris as the owner of the “device” that posted the explicit material. Multiple electronics were taken from the home to be examined for additional CSAM , according to the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office.

I urge all members of our community to remain vigilant in monitoring their children’s online activities. I extend my deepest appreciation to our dedicated detectives and ICAC affiliates for their exemplary work in ensuring the safety of our children." said Sheriff Shannon Beasley.
