Michael L. Strong, 37, was arraigned Wednesday in Kalamazoo County District Court Wednesday on one felony count of delivering amphetamines, punishable by up to seven years in prison, and one count of felony use of a firearm, punishable by up to two years, according to Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting.

According to Michigan State Police Detective First Lt. Chuck Christensen, Strong was arrested around 7 p.m. Tuesday at an Oshtemo Township hotel by members of the Southwest Michigan Enforcement Team, a Michigan State Police drug interdiction unit.

A two-week investigation by SWET began after state police received tips from two sources outside of the Prairieville Police Department that said Strong was providing drugs in exchange for sexual favors from males.

An undercover officer met with Strong on Tuesday under the expectation he would provide sexual favors to Strong in exchange for drugs, Christensen said. SWET first made contact with Strong on social media.

Christensen said Strong was arrested without incident and that he believes Strong has been suspended from his duties as a reserve officer.

Getting said Strong was given a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. A preliminary hearing on evidence against him is scheduled for Jan. 28.
