	Retired Pastor Faces Child Porn Charges By Veronica Waters WSB February 24, 2011 http://wsbradio.com/localnews/2011/02/retired-pastor-faces-child-por.html A retired minister is under arrest on child pornography charges. FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett tells WSB 71-year-old Albert Turnell, Jr. was arrested Thursday morning on charges of possession and distribution of child porn. Emmett says Turnell "came to law enforcement's attention over the Internet" and was taken into custody at his Smyrna home. "It's our understanding that [Mr. Turnell] is an important figure for that community," says Emmett. "It is all the more distressful to see these types of charges for such an individual." Turnell is a former pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Smyrna. His first court appearance was slated for Thursday afternoon.
