7/22/13 - A local man was arraigned on murder charges today after stabbing his former girlfriend to death over the weekend. 31-year-old Eric Frederickson of South Lyon is charged with first-degree murder in the Friday death of his ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old Summer Lynn Faulkner. The victimâs sister says he entered the Faulknerâs apartment off Rosewood Avenue in the Taylor Park Townhomes and stabbed her to death. Taylor Police say Faulkner was pronounced dead at the scene on Friday night and the sister called 911. Fredericksonâs friends convinced him to turn himself in to Fenton Police on Friday. At his arraignment this afternoon, the judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and ordered him held without bond in the Wayne County Jail. The plea is standard practice for capital crimes, and if the case goes to trial he will have opportunities to enter a different plea during that process. (TD)
