Deputies said they, along with the FBI, executed a search warrant at Devinney’s home south of Morganton.
Investigators said Devinney’s girlfriend, Starla Stamey, was arrested Monday after being accused of taking lewd photos of a 9-year-old.
The North Carolina Department of Public Safety said after his arrest, Devinney resigned from his position as a correctional officer in McDowell County.
