Austin SpurlockWARREN – A Warren man is in custody on a multiple-count felony child pornography possession charge after an arrest last week.
According to Tyler County Sheriff Bryan Weatherford, deputies with the Tyler County Sheriff’s Office arrested 22-year-old Austin Spurlock last Wednesday, while on patrol in the Warren area. Weatherford said the deputies stopped at a residence on FM 2827 in order to locate Spurlock, who had arrest warrants out of both Tyler and Hardin counties.
The child porn warrants were issued out of Tyler County, and he was charged with 10 counts of felony possession. He was also charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, on a warrant out of Hardin County.
Records show that Spurlock was arrested in July on charges of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance charges, in Tyler County.
He remains in the Tyler County Jail on a bond of $255,000 which was set by Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Tina Self.
In Texas, the act of viewing or possessing child pornography materials is a third-degree felony charge, which can result in fines of up to $10,000 and a prison sentence of two to 10 years, per charge, for first-time offenders.
According to statute, if an individual is accused of possessing six or more items of child pornography, the individual can face charges of promotion, which is a second-degree felony for a first-time offender, but a first-degree felony charge on subsequent offenses.
