Michigan National Guard troops are now helping the Michigan Department of Corrections throughout the Upper Peninsula. They’re working to test all inmates at state prisons across the UP for the COVID-19 virus.
The State of Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services has announced 12 new cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed Tuesday, upping the number of cases statewide to 65.
This new arrest is similar to one announced Thursday; both cases involve Battle Creek men out on parole for sex crimes, who have been busted for allegedly possessing child sexually abusive material on a cell phone.
The MSP’s Computer Crimes Unit, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force says on Thursday that their investigation into 25-year-old Richard Bilicki began after the Michigan Department of Corrections seized cell phones from him.
The KDPS says they were working with the MDOC’s Absconder Recovery Unit, to track down someone with an outstanding warrant. During the course of this investigation, a traffic stop was carried out.
