A St. Joseph man is behind bars awaiting a court appearance on Friday on charges of possession of child pornography.

Charges were filed against Todd Harris after investigators searched his home a year ago and found digital storage media containing more than 20 images identified as child pornography. Harris, 49, was arrested April 25.

He is being held in the Buchanan County Jail on one count of possession of child pornography.

Associate Circuit Judge Keith Marquart set bail at $10,000, a so-called hybrid bond requiring a $500 cash deposit, and $9,500 surety. A first appearance is scheduled Friday morning.
