The suspect HAS NOT BONDED. He remains in custody!

🚨Breaking: Pioneer Man Arrested on Over 500 Counts of S*x Crimes Against Children, Including First Degree R**e

My heart breaks for these young victims! This is why the Louisiana ICAC Task Force exists. Great work by Sheriff Scott Mathews and the West Carroll Parish Sheriff's Office, Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office,
Hattiesburg Police Department (Official), and my Fugitive Apprehension Unit.

I have offered my assistance to District Attorney Penny Douciere, and I’m confident he will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
