Authorities have arrested a 70-year-old man on child pornography counts.

The Advocate reports William J. Nason of Denham Springs was booked Wednesday on 20 counts of pornography involving juveniles.

Police say a search of Nason's home turned up hundreds of images of child pornography on electronic equipment.

Nason is being held in the Livingston Parish Detention Center in lieu of a $2 million bond.

It was unclear whether he has an attorney.
