Warren Teacher Arraigned on Child Sexual Material and Drug Charges

Prosecutors say searches found explicit videos of minors plus illegal drugs, prompting strict pretrial restrictions and a scheduled probable cause hearing.

Overview

  • Police arrested 37-year-old teacher Mark Michael Sharrow after a Roscommon County sexual‑conduct probe led to search warrants executed at his Warren home and on his cellphone, according to prosecutors.
  • Prosecutors say those searches uncovered sexually explicit videos involving minors and methamphetamine and LSD, allegations that were presented at his arraignment.
  • Sharrow was arraigned on 12 felony counts including five counts of aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material and five counts of using a computer to commit a crime, plus one count each for methamphetamine and Schedule 5/LSD possession.
  • A judge set bond at $1 million cash or surety with no 10% option and ordered GPS monitoring, a ban on internet-capable devices, no contact with minors, and no entry to places where minors gather.
  • Warren Consolidated Schools confirmed Sharrow was on administrative leave and the case is moving to a probable cause conference on Sept. 1 as prosecutors say they will aggressively pursue charges that they say reflect evidence of child exploitation.
