Snowbird Arrested On Child Pornography Charges

Robertsdale computer technician Rick Ousley knew something wasn't right when Mark Pelow brought in his computer to get it repaired.

"On his desktop there was an icon that said 'kids.' We knew something was on this computer," says Ousley.

Ousley says at first, Pelow did not want to leave his hard-drive at the repair shop and insisted on staying at the business for the five hour repair job.

"The children were 12, 13 at the most...tops," says Ousley. "Bare nudity type stuff."

Ousley called police, who arrested Pelow on child pornography charges.

"These people that go to the internet and download these images of children are victimizing them over and over again," says Sgt. Rex Bishop with the Robertsdale Police Dept.

Investigators say Pelow was staying at a Summerdale R-V park and tell News 5 this was at least his third winter in South Baldwin County.
