According to Michigan State Police, an investigation was launched last September when Nokes' daughter filed a complaint alleging that she and her father had engaged in sexual intercourse while she was visiting him in Farwell over the 4th of July Holiday.
The complaint was sent to the Mt. Pleasant State Police post in October, prompting them to interview Nokes.
During the interview, Nokes reportedly admitted to having sex with his daughter on three occasions. Two instances were in Clare County and a third instance in Clinton County.
Armed with a confession, the prosecutor's office filed charges and a warrant was issued for Nokes' arrest.
The warrant could not be served immediately, however, since Nokes was out of town on business. He was taken into custody on Tuesday night (Christmas Day) after he returned home for the holiday.
Nokes was booked into the Clare County Jail and charged with three felony counts of criminal sexual conduct 3rd degree (incest). His bond has been set at $60,000.
Investigators have not released details about the nature of the sexual conduct or why only one party was taken into custody. A preliminary examination of the case has been set for January 7.
