OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - A former Ocean Springs police officer who was arrested in November on a child pornography offense has been arrested again, this time on a cyber stalking charge.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd says 45-year-old Lee John Leonard was arrested late Thursday. A complaint was filed Feb. 19 by a woman who said Leonard was harassing her on a social networking website.
Byrd says Leonard was not supposed to be using a computer, under the conditions of his bond on the child pornography charge. In that case, Leonard is accused of downloading child pornography to his police-issued laptop computer.
Leonard resigned from the Ocean Springs force Oct. 14. Attempts to reach an attorney for Leonard on Friday were not successful.
