Man wanted in Tennessee for 16 child-sex charges arrested in East Texas

TRINITY COUNTY, Texas (KETK) — A man wanted out of Tennessee with several felony warrants, including counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, was arrested in Trinity County on Monday.

According to the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office, they assisted the United States Marshals Service in executing a high-risk felony warrant for 42-year-old Norman Haun.

Haun had several charges and felony warrants out of Greene County, Tennessee, including the following:

Sixteen counts of sexual exploitation of a minor
Felony warrants alleging violation of sex offender registry requirements
Violations of community supervision for life

Haun was taken into custody without incident.

“Due to the serious nature of the allegations and the high risk classification of the warrant, additional precautions were taken by law enforcement personnel to ensure the safety of the public, officers, and all involved during the operation,” the sheriff’s office said.

Haun was taken to the Trinity County Jail, where he is being held with a $200,000 bond for failure to comply with sex offender registration and online solicitation of a minor sexual conduct. The sheriff’s office said Haun is pending extradition back to Tennessee.

“Crimes involving children are taken seriously, and law enforcement agencies across this country continue to work together to locate and apprehend those wanted for serious offenses,” the sheriff’s office said.
