Potter is an online predator who contacted vulnerable children via social media, used deception, pressure, and threats to coerce young victims into sending him sexually explicit images & videos of themselves. He was a sworn officer which makes this case particularly disturbing.

Attended the investiture for ATF Director Steven Dettelbach with @USAttyAber . Loved the Director’s comment that no one is above the law and no one is beneath the protections of the law. Talked with SAC Bennie Mims @ATFCharlotte and met @ATFHQ leaders at the event.

Officer Kora with @AshevillePolice warmed my heart today as she gave me a high-five. As a therapy dog, she provides tremendous support to the community, crime victims, and to officers during stressful times. Officer Kora, thank you for your work!

This defendant obtained his drugs from drug distributors in Mexico by way of GA. He then distributed the drugs in NC, GA & FL and wired the drug proceeds back to Mexico. Law enforcement seized methamphetamine, firearms, ammunition, & over $10,000 in cash from him.

As a sworn officer, Biggins compromised public trust & violated federal statutes. Protecting our children from harm is one of our highest priorities, & identifying & prosecuting predators like Biggins is at the forefront of our efforts to combat child sexual exploitation.
