charged with touching a child for lustful purposes in incidents
dating back 10 years.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd says Claude A. Coleman was
arrested Tuesday. He was being held pending an initial court
appearance.
Byrd says Coleman, a vice president with Regions Bank, was
arrested after a two-month investigation into allegations from a
woman that Coleman molested her 23-year-old son 10 years ago.
Byrd says deputies in Jackson and Lauderdale counties executed
search warrants on Coleman's home in Gautier, a hunting camp near
Meridian and a fishing camp in Jackson County.
Byrd says investigators believe Coleman was the only adult
chaperone for boys and young teens during trips to the camps.
