Jury selection is underway in the trial of former Wrangell doctor Greg Salard, who is accused of possessing child pornography.

Seventy-seven prospective jurors filled out written questionnaires Monday morning in U.S. District Court in Juneau.

Salard was arrested in October and charged with three felonies for alleged receipt, possession and distribution of child pornography.

Salard was employed as a family doctor by Alaska Island Community Services in Wrangell and served under a contract with Wrangell Medical Center, the community’s hospital.
