A Cabell County man is facing felony child pornography charges, court records show

A Cabell County man has been arrested on a felony charge of possession of child pornography after authorities found more than 50 explicit images on his phone, according to court records.

David Reid Barbour II, 41, was charged with distribution and display of material depicting minors in explicit behavior after police responded to a disturbance on Aug. 16 around 11 p.m. at 912 West 2nd Street in Huntington, according to a criminal complaint filed in Cabell. County Court.

The complaint said that after responding to the disturbance, police discovered inappropriate Facebook messages and seized Barbour’s phone as evidence.

The Huntington Police Department was later able to obtain two search warrants for Barbour, and on September 30, the department’s Digital Forensics Unit pulled an explicit photo from his phone.

Authorities then obtained another warrant and discovered more than 50 images of minors engaging in explicit content on Barbour’s phone.

Barbour was later arrested and is being held at the Western Regional Jail on $75,000 cash-only bail while awaiting trial.
