CUMMING, Ga. — A Barrow County man came to Cumming on Wednesday hoping to meet the 14 year old he thought he had connected with on social media for sex, but members of the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office were waiting for him at West Bank Park instead. 

The 14 year old he thought he was meeting was actually an undercover officer completing a sting operation that began in December.

Michael Anthony Putnam, 27, of Auburn, Ga. was arrested and charged with attempted sodomy, attempted child molestation, child pornography and marijuana possession. 

Putnam is being held at the Forsyth County Adult Detention Center. There has been no bond set.
