Gainesville police arrested 37-year-old Michael Harris on Wednesday on suspicion of sharing child sexual abuse material online, booking him on nearly a dozen charges with a $360,000 bond. Harris told detectives he had found two cell phones containing the material — one discarded in trash and one on a roadside — and denied ownership of the devices. Investigators said they are continuing to examine his electronics as the case proceeds.
