Author: MOBILE, Alabama — A federal judge here last week ordered a homeless man jailed pending trial on child pornography charges, ruling that the defendant posed a risk to flee and endanger the community.

Local authorities subsequently dropped the trespassing charge, but a federal grand jury indicted McKenna, 28, on the child pornography charge.
