Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies arrested a manager at a Fountain Hills CVS pharmacy after they received a tip that he was had left several pornographic images of children in one of the store's photo kiosks.

Michael Brown, 49, of Phoenix, was arrested earlier today after sheriff's deputies conducted a search of his home near 17th Street and Union Hills Drive in Phoenix.


Brown is a shift supervisor at the CVS at 16545 East Palisades Drive in Fountain Hills -- the same store where the porn was found.

According to the MCSO, another manager at the store is the one who called deputies after finding the porn in the photo kiosk.

Deputies say the children in the photos appear to all be under age 14.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who lives in the area of the CVS, seems to be taking this one personally.

"This is such a sad situation. Living in Fountain Hills, I frequently shop at this very store, and I will never tolerate this type of behavior," Arpaio says in a statement issued this afternoon.

Brown faces nine counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and while it's unclear whether deputies found any further evidence after the search of his home, the MCSO says more charges are expected to follow.
