MOULTON — A Trinity man was in Lawrence County Jail on Wednesday charged with receiving stolen property, Sheriff Gene Mitchell said.

Lawrence County Sheriff's investigators arrested Christopher Thomas Kirby, 40, of 349 Lawrence County 353 on charges of first-degree receiving stolen property, Mitchell said.

The arrest was the result of an investigation of a stolen Bobcat front-end loader discovered on Kirby's property Sept. 13. Kirby allegedly knew the Bobcat was stolen when he received it, Mitchell said.
