LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — A 33-year-old man from Jackson has been arrested for possession of child pornography, following an investigation from the Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit.

MSP first opened its investigation after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Police say that if Briggs is convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison for the charge of child sexually abusive activity, 20 years in prison for the charge of aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, and 10 to 20 years in prison for using a computer to commit a crime.
