EDMOND —
An undercover OSBI Internet crimes against children investigation initiated by Edmond investigators has resulted in the arrest of a Holdenville mother and son, the OSBI reported Thursday.
OSBI agents arrested Billy Ray Blaylock, 26, of Holdenville, where he lived with his mother, OSBI spokeswoman Jessica Brown said. He was arrested on complaints of possession of child pornography, distribution of child pornography, possession of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school, park or daycare and violation of the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act, Brown said.
His mother, Mary Ann Chronister, 54, was also arrested at the same address, Brown said. She was booked into the Hughes County jail on complaints of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school, park or daycare and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, Brown said.
Her sister was also arrested at the home, Brown said. Lillian Faye Chronister, 51, was booked into jail on complaints of possession of marijuana with intent and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Brown said.
The investigation originated with the Edmond Police Department, which turned the case over to the OSBI for jurisdictional reasons, Brown said.
