SOUTH ROXANA – A local man faces five Class X felonies after authorities linked his South Roxana address to a Discord account sharing videos of child pornography. James M. Toombs, 22, of South Roxana, was charged on Oct. 3, 2025 with five Class X felony counts of child pornography. From May 30 to June 3, 2025, Toombs allegedly disseminated multiple video files via the messaging application Discord, each depicting children under the age of 18 engaged in various sex acts with adults. According to the state’s petition to deny Toombs’s pretrial release from custody, the investigation stemmed from a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to the Edwardsville Police Department.

Letter To The Editor: As a resident of Madison County, I disagreed with the recent decision by the Madison County Board to declare a "Day of Remembrance" for Charlie Kirk. I understand that the party in power has the votes to pass any resolution they chose. I also know that the current administration has been open to dialogue about diversity, and I commend them for that. The problems is that Charlie routinely framed diversity initiatives as threats to his way of life and dismissed systemic racism myths. His statement about black pilots being qualified are insulting to say the least. I strongly encourage everyone to research the Tuskegee Airmen if they are at least a bit curious about the history of black pilots in America. I admit I must make a concerted effort to become better informed because I didn't know Charlie existed until he was assassinated. Because of the publicity surrounding his death, I decided to learn more about him. Since then, I've watched several of his interviews.
