The man who was fired over the weekend from his staff position at a prominent Mandeville church has surrendered to police in Mississippi on accusations of sexually molesting an underage boy, authorities said Tuesday.

Travis Bush, 36, of Mandeville, turned himself in after investigators in Bay St. Louis obtained a warrant to arrest him.

Detective Sgt. Rachel Jewell of the Bay St. Louis Police Department said the crime that Bush is accused of committing implies that the victim was 16 or younger, but she declined to release any details.

Jail records show Bush was being held Tuesday in lieu of $100,000 bail and is due to appear in court for a hearing Nov. 16.
