3/5/14 - A South Lyon man already serving a lengthy prison term for the murder of his ex-girlfriend has now been sentenced for violating his probation in Livingston County when the crime occurred. 31-year-old Eric Frederickson is serving a 35 to 70 year prison sentence after pleading guilty to 2nd degree murder in the stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old Summer Lynn Faulkner, in her Taylor apartment on July 19th of last year. Faulknerâs younger sister and a friend were home at the time and called police to report the attack. Faulkner was pronounced dead at the scene. Fredericksonâs friends eventually convinced him to turn himself in to Fenton Police, who then turned him over to authorities in Taylor. The pair had broken up and police confirmed that Faulkner was being stalked by Frederickson for months. At the time of the violent murder, Frederickson was already on probation in Livingston County for a 2009 aggravated stalking case. Circuit Court Judge Michael Hatty recently exceeded sentencing guidelines in handing down the maximum five years in prison for the probation violation. Frederickson is currently incarcerated at the Saginaw Correctional Facility and his earliest date for possible release is 2048. (JM)
