BASTROP — A former Elgin (EL'-gin) police officer has been sentenced to three years in prison in a child pornography case.

A Bastrop County jury on Friday convicted 48-year-old Orval Roger Miller on three third-degree felony counts of child pornography possession. Sentencing was Monday for Miller, who also was fine $10,000.

Miller was indicted in September 2007 after a thumb drive left in a police computer was found to contain child porn.

Miller is a former community college police officer in Austin.
