COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Coldwater man was given a 90 day jail sentence on Monday by Branch County District Court Judge Brent Weigle on a Breaking and Entering charge. 27-year-old Michael James Pierson was given credit for 20 days already served.
Pierson entered a guilty plea to the Breaking and Entering charge as part of a plea agreement. In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors dropped two counts of First Degree Home Invasion.
Charges were filed against Pierson following a Coldwater Police Department investigation into an alleged January 2016 incident on Peckham Street.
