9/18/13 - A man charged with breaking into several businesses in the Village of Fowlerville has been sentenced in the case. 43-year-old Michael Alan Gillespie Jr. of Ann Arbor was sentenced to a minimum of 2 years and 10 days in prison, with a maximum of 20 years and credit for 85 days served. He was also ordered to pay $1,185 in restitution so far. He previously pleaded no contest to three counts each of breaking and entering a building with intent and larceny in a building. A sentencing agreement called for a guideline minimum of 34-months in prison and prosecutors also agreed to not issue a separate charge of safe breaking. 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. They 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. (TD)
