SALISBURY — A 44-year-old Kannapolis man was charged Wednesday after law enforcement officers allegedly found child pornography on his Instagram account.

Michael Joe Banks of Waco Street was charged with third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Banks already faces charges for felony concealment of death and failure to report death in the case of Tammy Lynn Becerra, a 45-year-old who was found dead in a wooded area off of Shuping Mill Road near the Rowan-Cabarrus line. Becerra’s dead body was found March 23 by a motorist leaving home. She allegedly was placed there by Banks and a Kannapolis woman, Brooke Lynn Griffin, and was last seek alive using narcotics at a home on Canyon Lane.

The new charge for Banks came from a search warrant issued in connection with the case, said Maj. John Sifford. As part of the search warrant, Sifford said, law enforcement officers obtained access to Banks’ Instagram archive.

Banks remained in jail Friday on a total bond of $115,000, including $10,000 for the third-degree sexual exploitation charge.
