Also observed/located, during the execution of the search warrant, was a shotgun with a 12 inch barrel. The computer was seized for further examination and the shotgun was seized as evidence.

On April 17, 2013, Hart was arrested for possession of an illegal firearm. As the investigation continued, additional evidence was obtained and an arrest warrant was issued for Hart charging him with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of child pornography.
