Former Bachelorette star Joshua Tylerbest was arrested in Miami, Florida, and was charged with child por*ography possession last month. However, he was later released from police custody on a $5,000 bond.
The 27-year-old reality TV star was known for his appearance in Katie Thurston’s season 17. He was eliminated in week 4.
