Detectives reportedly found images of children being sexually abused on Burge's computer.

The Sheriff's Office began investigating Burge after receiving a citizen's tip from the Quincy Police Department last month.

Burge is now facing six counts of possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

He's currently being lodged in the Grant County Jail.
