from Dale County Sheriff’s Office:
Jonathan Anthany Barlow, 26, of Ariton was arrested October 28, 2008 by Dale County Sheriff’s Office investigators on charges of possession of child pornography.

A computer frequently used by Barlow was found to contain several images and movie clips that are believed to be depicting children involved in sexual acts.

These images were discovered when other users of the computer looking for family photos discovered the pictures on the computer they believed were child pornography. 

The computer was turned over to the Dale County Sheriff’s Office for investigation.  After a cursory search of the computer was made, and evidence was found to support the allegation, the Dale County District Attorney’s Office issued a warrant for the arrest of Jonathan Barlow.

The computer has since been taken to the ABI Lab in Montgomery for a forensic examination.

Barlow was transported to the Dale County Jail and held on $10,000 bond.
