SOUTHFIELD, MI — The girlfriend of a Southfield man tells WJBK, Fox 2 News in Detroit that her fiance was arrested for possession of child pornography after the pair won a Ypsilanti storage locker auction containing pictures of young girls in lingerie and a bin of girls' panties.

"We were coming to bring the stuff to the police station and before we could do that they were at our door, kicking in my door," Shavon Henry, whose boyfriend Tyrique Wilkerson was arrested, told Fox 2. "I was sleeping. I get woken up by two officers pulling me out of my own bed."

Similar to the reality A&E TV show "Storage Wars," Henry and Wilkerson spend money to bid on storage lockers sight unseen with the hopes that they can sell the contents for profit. Storage facilities use this method to recoup their losses when storage locker renters become delinquent on their payments.



Henry said they won a locker at National Storage Center in Ypsilanti and began noticing the odd and illegal contents. Some of the items were disposed of and the business's management was notified, but the remaining bins were transported back to the couple's Southfield home.

MLive Detoit left messages requesting comment with the storage facility.

Henry tells Fox 2 that before they had a chance to take the child pornography to the authorities, a raid was conducted at their home. Police seized photos of young girls, lights, a camera and underwear; Wilkerson was arrested for possession of child pornography and obstructing a criminal investigation.

MLive Detroit was unable to reach spokespeople for the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office or Ypsilanti Police Department. Messages were left.
