Jackson man faces sodomy, pornography charges

A Jackson man has been charged with four felony counts of statutory sodomy with a child under 12 years of age and one felony count of possession of child pornography, Jackson police said Tuesday.

John Edward Miller, 56, was arrested after a park ranger at Trail of Tears State Park on Monday noticed a �suspicious vehicle and made contact with the driver,� Jackson police said in a news release.

Miller was taken into custody. His bond was set at $150,000, police said.

Jackson police said they received information regarding a possible sexual assault of a child last month.

�Detectives immediately opened an investigation into the matter,� according to the release. �Probable cause was established which led to the issue of search warrants for electronic devices,� police said.

The suspect left his residence and �was believed to be living out of his vehicle, moving from place to place,� the release said. Detectives issued a statewide alert to find Miller.
