Simpson said police searched a residence on 15th Avenue in Northport and found evidence enough to charge Kirkman with two counts of disseminating illegal child pornography and eight counts of possessing such material.

Each of the 10 charges is a felony.

Kirkman was arrested Wednesday and placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail, where a judge has yet to set his bond.
