Jerome Fahner, age 51 of Detroit, was sentenced to prison on Monday for the February 2020 invasion of his ex-wife’s Lapeer county home.
Fahner had been hiding in the shed of the Almont home for two days before he entered the house on Kidder Road, holding his ex-wife at gunpoint for six hours, threatening to kill them both and demanding the woman extract money from the various ATMs they visited in those hours.
Following her escape and Fahner’s capture, he was arraigned on several charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery, first degree home invasion, extortion, unlawful imprisonment, interfering with an electronic device, assault with a deadly weapon and seven counts of felony firearm. He pleaded guilty in March to the felony firearms and first-degree home invasion charges, with his plea deal dismissing the remaining charges.
This Monday, he was sentenced to a minimum of 6 years and 3 months, with a maximum of 20 possible, and 107 days of it already served. He also has to pay a little over $2,000 in fines and costs.
