Farmington Hills Man Accused Of Having Child Pornography: MSP

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI — A Farmington Hills man faces a possible 20-year prison sentence after being accused of possessing child pornography, methamphetamines and using a computer to commit a crime, Michigan State Police officials said Tuesday.

Steven Price, 55, turned himself in to police in November and has been arraigned in 47th District Court on five counts of aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, five counts of computer crimes-use of a computer to commit a crime and one count of possession of crystal methamphetamine, police said.

If convicted, Price faces up to 20 years in prison for the aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material and computer charges, as well as four years for the possession of crystal methamphetamine, according to police.

Price's arrest came following an investigation by the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, police said. That investigation stemmed from a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Tip, authorities added.

When the task force looked into the tip, they were led to Price's home in Oakland County, police said. A search warrant of the home netted multiple internet capable devices and evidence, authorities said.
