Bellville business owner arrested for child porn

BELLVILLE — The Texas Attorney General's Office and the Bellville Po lice Department on Feb. 5, collaborated in the arrest of Joseph “Joe” Jamil Daaboul, 33, of Bellville on a warrant of possession of child pornography.

The charge was enhanced to a second- degree felony because of visual representations of less than 100 pictures depicting a child under 10 years of age.

He was subsequently charged with a second and third-degree felony of possession of a controlled substance by a search of his business.

Daaboul was booked into the Austin County Jail in Bellville on a $500,000 bond.

The investigation is ongoing and the suspect is presumed innocent until found guilty.
