A Booneville man has been arrested after the Prentiss County Sheriffs Office received a report and followed up that he allegedly possessed child porn and had made sexual contact with a child.
From the Prentiss County Sheriffs Office:
On Saturday Nov. 3rd, Deputies and Investigators with Prentiss County Sheriff’s Office followed up on a report that allegedly involved the suspect, Jordan Britt Bridges, 27 of CR 1111 Booneville (Tuscumbia Community), possessing images of child pornography on his cell phone as well has having sexual contact with a minor female child. Deputies Taylor Walker, Gary Garrett, Tyler Reese, Dallas Lumpkin and Phillip Owens aided by several members of the Mississippi Highway Patrol arrested Bridges without incident, at his home Saturday after he hid under a pile of clothing in the house.
The Prentiss County Sheriff’s Office along with the Mississippi Attorney General’s Internet Crimes against Children Task Force are credited with making a solid case on Bridges. The AG’s Task Force has an investigator based in our office that provides us with valuable electronic resources that otherwise we wouldn’t have. Bridges is charged with 2 counts of Possession of Child Pornography, 2 counts of Touching a Child for Lustful Purposes, 1 count of Sexual Battery, 1 count of Photographing for Lewd Purposes or Invading the Privacy by Photographing. Additional charges may be forthcoming and the case will be presented to the next Prentiss County Grand Jury. Bridges bond was set at $300,000. He remains in custody at this time.
