Two Harrisburg men, said to be regular users of a midstate store's photograph printing machine, were charged after leaving behind pornographic images of children in the jammed machine, according to charging documents.

Rite Aid employees called police to the store's Market Street location around 11:45 a.m. on July 9 after store managers reported customers had left behind inappropriate photos of young girls.

An investigation into the report led police to Timothy M. Rissmiller, 43, and John Leon Gilbert III, 35. The men were arrested on July 10 and each man faces one count each of possession of child pornography and conspiracy possession of child pornography, according to online court records.

The incident was allegedly brought to workers' attention after they checked on the broken machine and discovered the pictures.

One manager told officers she was notified that eight photographs had printed out on their photo machine earlier that day. She handed the photographs to the officers.

The pictures showed two "little girls" -- estimated between the ages of 10 and 12 years old.

Doubles were printed of two of the photographs using the machine. One photograph showed one of the girls naked in a swimming pool, and another showed the second girl naked with her legs spread toward the camera, according to the filed criminal complaint related to the charges.

An assistant manager said a man had told her the photo machine had stopped working. The man, who was with another shorter man, said the pair would return later for the photographs before leaving just after 11:05 p.m.

The machine began working shortly after the issue was reported and the employees confiscated the pictures to be forfeited to police.

The employees also copied video surveillance footage of the male customers and gave it to police. The next day, Rissmiller was spotted by an officer in the area of the Mulberry Street Bridge and taken to the police station for an interview.

Officers arrested Gilbert at a local drug addiction treatment center and also took him to the station for an interview.

Each man is being held in Dauphin County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail. Rissmiller is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 9 for a preliminary hearing, and Gilbert is expected to appear for his preliminary hearing on July 20.
