6/12/13 - A man was arrested early this morning after allegedly breaking into three different businesses in Fowlerville. Fowlerville Police Chief Tom Couling tells WHMI that an officer responded to a business alarm on West Grand River shortly before 5am and found the front door window had been smashed out. While police were investigating the first incident, Couling says the person involved was actually breaking into two other businesses. As a K-9 unit was being requested for a track, Couling says a witness stopped by and provided a description of a suspect seen running from one of the businesses that had been broken into. Couling says that description was provided to the K-9 unit as the officer was arriving in the area, and he observed the suspect in front of another business, with some visible injuries. Couling says the two officers interviewed the man and it became clear that he was the suspect involved in all three incidents. After the suspect was placed under arrest, Couling says police then located the other two businesses that had been broken into. He says money was stolen out of the tills at two of the three businesses but it was recovered from the 43-year-old man at the scene. He was lodged in the Livingston County Jail and his name is being withheld pending arraignment. (JM)
