A Flint man has been jailed in Tuscola County following an afternoon breaking and entering yesterday, according to the Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s Deputy Caleb Bock was dispatched around 12:15 p.m. on February 3 to a home on South Vassar Road in Millington Township for a breaking and entering that had just occurred. The homeowner called 911 after hearing someone attempting to enter the home.
Upon discovering the male suspect inside his home, the homeowner armed himself and confronted the suspect, who fled the scene in a vehicle. The homeowner provided a description of the suspect’s vehicle to Tuscola County Dispatch, prompting additional law enforcement units to be deployed to search the area.
While officers were conducting their search, another breaking and entering call was received from Willard Road in Millington Township, occurring just prior to the Vassar Road incident. The vehicle description provided for this second incident matched that of the suspect’s vehicle.
Officer Todd Brow of the Frankenmuth Police Department, who was patrolling the western portions of Tuscola and Arbela Townships, joined the search. Officer Brow successfully located the suspect vehicle on Bray Road in Arbela Township and coordinated with Tuscola County units, with the male suspect apprehended without incident.
The suspect, a 49-year-old male from Flint, is currently lodged in the Tuscola County Jail, facing breaking and entering charges, and is awaiting arraignment. This investigation remains ongoing by the Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office.
