Jun. 26—CHIPPEWA FALLS — A Chippewa Falls man, who was convicted in 2018 for having sex with a 13-year-old girl and sentenced to serve a five-year prison sentence, has been arrested after he reportedly went to a gas station in the city to meet an 11-year-old girl, who was actually an undercover individual.

Steven J. Burich, 25, appeared in Chippewa County Court on Monday on possible charges of attempting to commit crime, using a computer to facilitate a crime, child enticement and cause a child to view or listen to sexual activity. He also is being detained on a probation hold.
