A preliminary hearing that was scheduled for a Stroud man arrested by OSBI agents last July on two felony counts dealing with child pornography has been reset.
John Mack Byrd., Jr., 43, was formally charged July 29 in Lincoln County District Court with possession of child pornography and using access to computers to violate Oklahoma State statutes.
Special Judge Emily Mueller originally scheduled Byrd’s preliminary hearing for 1:30 p.m. March 30.
Judge Mueller has rescheduled it for 1:30 p.m. April 14.
Byrd was arrested July 26 by agents with the OSBI. The Stroud Police Department and Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office reportedly assisted with the investigation.
The first felony accuses Byrd of possessing child pornography, a felony, on about March 4, 2022 in Lincoln County by possessing a cellular phone with images consisting of child pornography.
