Northport Man Charged with 15 Counts of Possession of Child Porn
A Northport man was charged with 15 counts of possession of child pornography Wednesday after a joint investigation by the West Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force and other local law enforcement agencies.
Lt. Darren Beams, the commander of the task force, said officers executed a search warrant Wednesday at a home on Mill Creek Road in Northport and as a result of their investigation, they found probable cause to charge Edward Chase Pogue with 15 counts of possession of obscene matter containing a person under the age of 17.
Pogue was booked in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on a combined $225,000 bond, but Beams said additional charges are likely to follow.
