Former Lubbock Christian School president awaits sentencing in jail
The former president of Lubbock Christian School will have to await his sentencing on federal child pornography charges in jail, a U.S. magistrate judge ruled recently.
Larry Tye Rogers, 56, surrendered about 11 a.m. on Friday to the U.S. Marshals Service and was booked about a half-hour later into the Lubbock County Detention Center.
Rogers surrendered about an hour before the deadline set by U.S. Magistrate Judge D. Gordon Bryant after determining that Rogers failed to show exceptional circumstances that would allow him to remain out on bond.
Rogers faces up to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty in June to a count of possession of child pornography.

56-year-old Tye Rogers, the former Lubbock Christian School President, has had his motion to continue being released pending sentencing denied, and has had his sentencing date set.
Back in October of 2020, KAMC News reports that Roger s wife had caught him taking pictures of a 15-year-old girl as she was preparing to take a shower. After being caught, Rogers admitted that he had taken several pictures and videos of the girl in the bathroom beforehand.
A colleague later asked Rogers if what his wife said was true, and he admitted it then, saying something along the lines of I guess I should resign.
On July 5, police arrested 31-yeare-old Cody Jay Salazar in Ballinger.
Information on what led to the shooting and how both men were identified as suspects was not immediately available.
Garcia has been held at the Lubbock County Detention Center since Thursday after surrendering to police on an unrelated case, in which he is accused of shooting at a Lubbock police officer s patrol vehicle during a Jan. 18 vehicle chase.
The chase began in the 4700 block of 45th Street, where police initially responded to a vehicle burglary call.
Investigators believe Garcia was a passenger in a vehicle that matched the description of the one used by the vehicle burglars, according to police.
