Clay County Sheriff Rick Besseler named a ‘person of interest’ tonight in the Somer Thompson case.  The Sheriff says Jarred Mitchell Harrell, 24, was arrested in Meridian, Mississippi, and is currently being held on a $1 million bail.  Harrell is not only a person of interest in the horrific abduction and murder of 7-year-old Somer Thompson, but he is also charged with 29 counts of child pornography.  Harold formerly resided in the neighborhood where Somer was abducted last fall as she walked home from school.
