Two Port Huron men were recently arrested and arraigned for possession of child sexually abusive material and using a computer to commit a crime.
William Harrison Endicott, age 68, and Cody Allen Maske, age 30, were both arraigned in the 72nd District Court, with each man facing the same four counts: two counts of possession of child sexually abusive material and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime. Endicott was arraigned Friday, May 8, while Maske was arraigned this past Tuesday, May 19.
According to the Michigan State Police, both were on parole and were arrested following separate investigations in which digital evidence was seized from their possession. The investigations were initiated after home visits by the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) for parole violations.
