A Houston County man was convicted Wednesday of eight counts of sexual exploitation of children after investigators found child pornography on his computer.

According to a release from the Houston County District Attorney's Office, it took a Houston County jury less than 45 minutes to convict Ernest Gregory Arthur, 53, after a two-day trial.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday.

In August 2009, investigators say they traced the computer's IP address to Arthur's residence.

When the sheriff's office executed a search warrant, they found child pornography movies on Arthur's hard drive and also movies he had burned onto DVDs.

Investigators said Arthur was sharing the pornography on a peer-to-peer computer network called Limewire.

A Macon man was arrested after police say he tried to kidnap a woman at a Warner Robins business last week.

Warner Robins police spokeswoman Tabitha Pugh says 27-year-old William Carpenter walked into the Master Cleaners on Russell Parkway with a gun last Thursday.

Pugh says Carpenter walked up to a female worker, threatened her with the gun, and demanded that she get into his car.

When she refused, Pugh says, Carpenter left in a dark-colored SUV.

The woman was not injured.

Carpenter was arrested and charged with criminal attempt-kidnapping, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

He's being held at the Houston County jail.
