8/3/13 - A man charged with breaking into several businesses in the Village of Fowlerville has entered a plea in the case. 43-year-old Michael Alan Gillespie Jr. of Ann Arbor pleaded no contest to three counts each of breaking and entering a building with intent and larceny in a building. A sentencing agreement calls for a guideline minimum of 34-months in prison and prosecutors have also agreed to not issue a separate charge of safe breaking. Gillespie will be sentenced as a 3rd-time habitual offender in Livingston County Circuit Court September 5th. Fowlerville Police responded to an alarm at a business on West Grand River shortly before 5am on June 12th and found the front door window broken out but then discovered that two other businesses had also been broken into. A witness provided a description of a man seen running between the buildings, which helped officers locate and arrest Gillespie in front of another business with visible injuries. (JM)
