OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - Jackson Court Sheriff Mike Byrd said an Ocean Springs man has been arrested on a charge of possession of child pornography.
Byrd said 58-year-old Joel Guy Bowie was taken into custody Monday after authorities searched his home, seizing a computer hard drive and other items.
