Bradley Nash, 24, who was a volunteer with the Discovery band, was arrested July 3 and charged with possession of child pornography after police found "obscene images of minors" on his computer. He will appear before District Judge Lynn Sherrod Wednesday morning for a felony examination hearing.

Police said they were notified on June 28 of a possibly inappropriate relationship between Bradley Nash and a 15-year-old female student. Police said the school's administration worked with police and the girl's parents to investigate.

Police said Johnny Nash, the Discovery band director, had been informed of the alleged relationship and failed to report it to authorities as required by state law.
