Attorney General Tim Griffin announced Friday, Sept. 12, 2025, that two South Arkansas men were arrested on child pornography charges. Griffin said the arrest came after an investigation from the AG’s Special Investigations Division.
On Sept. 10, Sam Cannon, 21, of Sheridan, was arrested and charged with eight felony counts of pandering or possession of visual or print medium depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child after SID received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
On Sept. 11, Douglas Lee Black, 61, of Pine Bluff, was arrested and charged with one felony count of pandering or possession of visual or print medium depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child after SID received a cybertip from NCMEC. Narcotics and related paraphernalia were also found at Black’s home and are currently being investigated by the Pine Bluff Police Department.
“My office remains unwavering in its mission to protect children from exploitation,” Griffin said. “If you engage in this vile and criminal behavior, know that you will be arrested and held accountable. I want to thank the Sheridan Police Department and the Pine Bluff Police Department for their assistance in these arrests.”
