Adams County man arrested on child porn charges

NATCHEZ — An Adams County resident is currently being detained at the county jail after being charged with three counts of possession of child pornography.

Alfred Roy Smith, 43, 7 Longmire Road, was arrested Monday and is being held on a $30,000 bond.

While several agencies within the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office spearheaded the investigation, details on the arrest are scarce.

Attorney General Jim Hood said in a statement multiple images of child pornography were found in the (Smith’s) home.

Each of Smith’s three possession charges carries a minimum of five years, and a maximum of 40 years, with the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Adams County Sheriff Angie Brown said her deputies were asked to help execute search and arrest warrants at Smith’s home, but provided no further details.

Maybe jammin1 but I think it's an excellent deterrent.
Kinda puts a damper on things for him don't you think?
And he can ponder on "things" he's missing out on in life because of his former actions.

Way to go Sheriff Angie! Don't go easy on him! I can't believe that we're hearing about so much of this in 'our' area lately. This seems like it should be on TV somewhere else. Were the 'images' on or from the internet? All you perves out there need to realize that downloading images are against the law too! Sick!

Longmire Rd is out Kingston Rd. It's a pretty good way out past an antibellum B&B...

we should be so outraged about people selling drugs to and around our kids.

No kpage, nothing serious! LOL I just used some words about John Wayne Bobbit and what kind of movies he did afterwards that has made him famous, and they were apparently words that someone considered bad.

All I did was offer a more permanent solution to this perverts illness.

Why do we need to waste the tax dollars on taking care of these people for the rest of their lives?

Prison now is a welfare system designed to pamper instead of punish.

It is a known fact that you can not rehabilitate a Pedophile!

Castration does nothing to control the urges.

Ask any doctor, sex is 90% mental and only 10% physical.

The really sad thing about this is that he has an ex wife who is willing to go to any level to hert him even if it means destroying his life. To anyone out there who knows this man knows that he was the nicest person ever and he would do anything to help anyone who needed help even if he didn't know them. And his kids ment the world to him and I know personally he would never ever in his right mind do anything to jeprodise loosing his kids. The only thing that he is guilty for is loving his family. He is a loving and caringam who would never do something like this.

Ok, Rebelgrad am i to understand that this mans wife planted child porn in his home in order to sabatoge his outstanding reputation?And am i also to believe that she conspired with officers in the surrounding area AND that she also involved the United States Secret Service in this conspiracy to ruin his life?Now call me crazy,but that seems a little far fetched that someone would enlist the help of the U.S. Secret Service to have their x-husband jailed for something that extreme!Now please don't think that i'm confirming or denying that this man is guilty because I'm not.I don't know this man,therefore I'm not at liberty to say wheather he is capable of commiting the crimes he has been acused of.But one thing i do know for certain is that he and his attorney are going to have one hell of a time convincing a judge and jury that this is a conspiracy between his deranged x-wife and the Secret Service to not only keep him from his children but to also keep him out of society for the next forty or so years.

All i can say is if this man knows anyone of high authority he will get off. and from what i know he knows enough people to get out of this. and by the way the nicest of people are capable of the sickest of things........even family abuses there own family members

I too know this man and his children are his life. He is heartbroken at the prospect of loosing them, and I am sure they are torn to pieces from being away from their dad. These are some of the sweetest, most well adjusted children in the world, and their daddy is their life.

Well Welth the charges were for posession and the only thing that were found were DVDs and the gets involved when anything like that is reported to the police and it's funny how they magically appear when he was in new Orleans trying to take care of his sisters son that was in a bad car accident and flipped his truck so tell me what sounds funny here. The sad part is that thekids are having to relocate away from just aboutthere whole family butthey will ne in good hands thank god for that

I ment to say the government gets involved because it is a federal crime

thank you to all law enforcement agencies involved!!! These children are going to finally get the help that they need to heal from this terrible crime that has been commited. this man, is not the man that some of these posts have tried to portray him to be. from personal experience i can tell you that this man is the creepiest, strangest, and most disgusting person i have met. these children were not "well adjusted" children! you can look at them and tell that something is not right. he has other child abuse cases from years ago that have never been brought to justice due to intimidation and threats. he is a nasty pervert and thank God he is off the streets. i hope that one day he will feel as scared and abused as these children felt when he decided to take their innocense and destroy their lives!! and being in prison is exactly where he needs to be for that to happen!!!

You nailed it perle4. Maybe this time justice will be served.

Thank you perle4. Finally someone telling the truth. These kids are definitely not "well adjusted" and the man truly is a a strange bird.
