A Deatsville man was returned to the Elmore County Jail just weeks after he bonded out.
Leon Prince, 78, was arrested last month for the Class B felony sex abuse of a child under 12 after a direct presentation to an Elmore County Grand Jury. Prince was released on a $40,000 property bond. Prince is currently in the Elmore County Jail with a $300,000 cash bond available to him.
