Mount Clemens, Mich. – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that Mark Michael Sharrow, 37, of Warren, has been arraigned on multiple felony charges stemming from search warrants related to his arrest for a Third-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct charge out of Houghton Lake, Michigan.

On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at the time of Sharrow’s arrest, his home and cellphone were searched pursuant to search warrants. It is alleged that sexually explicit videos of minors were discovered on his cellphone. It is further alleged that methamphetamine and LSD were found in his home. 

On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, Sharrow was arraigned before Judge Steven Bieda of the 37^th District Court in Warren, Michigan. Sharrow is charged with the following offenses:

FIVE COUNTS: Child Sexually Abusive Material – Aggravated Possession, a 10-year felony 

FIVE COUNTS: Computers - Using To Commit A Crime – Maximum Imprisonment of 10 Years or More but less than 20 years, a 10-year felony

ONE COUNT: Controlled Substance – Possession of Methamphetamine, a 10-year felony

ONE COUNT: Controlled Substance – Possession of Schedule 5 and LSD, a 1-year misdemeanor.

These are the maximum charges available under the law based upon the evidence presented to date. 

“Child Sexually Abusive Material is not simply illegal content—it is evidence of the abuse and exploitation of a real child. Those who seek out, possess, or distribute this material help perpetuate that harm. We will aggressively pursue those who prey on children and use every available legal tool to hold them accountable,” stated Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.

Judge Beida set Sharrow’s bond at $1 million cash/surety only, no ten percent option. If Sharrow posts bond, he must wear a GPS tether. He is prohibited from using the internet or any device capable of accessing the internet. Sharrow is also ordered to have no contact with minors and may not enter locations where minors commonly congregate. 

Sharrow is scheduled to appear at a Probable Cause Conference before Judge Michael Chupa at the 37th District Court on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at 8:45 a.m.

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All individuals who are accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
