A Chelsea man is being held on $1 million bond after his arrest on child pornography charges.

James Edward Franklin Jr., 61, is charged with four counts of distribution of obscene material of a child, Homewood police announced Monday.

Homewood’s Special Investigation Unit took Franklin into custody Friday at his home. Additional details about the allegations against him have not been released.
