Tony Waller, 39, the youth pastor of Jonesboro First Assembly, was
released on a $2,500 bond set by Craighead County District Judge Keith
Blackman.
According to an arrest affidavit, Waller's wife, Angela Waller, told
Jonesboro police officers that she was looking for a file April 30 on a
laptop computer the two used when she found several file folders that
she did not recognize.
She found "thousands of images of prepubescent girls either
completely nude or scantily clad," Jonesboro police Detective Brandon
King wrote in the affidavit. Angela Waller confronted her husband, who
confessed he had been addicted to child pornography for more than 20
years, according to the affidavit.
Police confiscated the computer, along with a second hard drive, and found "a very large amount" of pornography, King said.

the pastor of Brookland Church of Christ, on April 8 after police said
they found pornography on a computer taken from his home.
