Sentence Handed Down On Cunkle
Tuesday, June 16, 2020

Sentence has been handed down to a Coldwater man on sexually based charges.

Branch County Circuit Court officials say 31 year old Michael Robert Cunkle was given a sentence of 14 to 48 months to be served in the Michigan Department of Corrections. In April, Cunkle plead no contest to two felony charges of accosting children for immoral purposes along with a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure.

In exchange for the pleas, the Branch County Prosecutor's Office dismissed charges of second degree criminal sexual conduct and aggravated indecent exposure.

Cunkle was arrested in February by the Branch County Sheriff's Department following an investigation that started in August 2019. The three alleged victims were all under the age of 12 when the incidents are reported to have happened. Cunkle was credited with 119 days served.
