11/30/12 - A Wyoming, Michigan man is scheduled for trial in February after being accused of stealing a Livingston Essential Transportation Service pickup truck just three hours after being released from jail. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department says 54-year-old James Junior Williams was originally arrested for a robbery by Pinckney Police on September 15th but he was released the next morning pending further investigation. Officials say Williams was walking down Grand River after his release when an EMS vehicle stopped to try and assist him. They then took him to the EMS building at Grand River and Burkhart Road so he could make some calls, but had to leave after being dispatched to another call. Thatâs when Williams is accused of entering a door on the west side of the building and steal a LETS pickup truck inside with the keys in the ignition. Williams was later located following a police request for public assistance in finding the vehicle. He is charged with the unlawful driving away of a vehicle as a 4th time habitual offender. His next scheduled appearance in court will be on January 4th, and his trial is set to begin on February 11th. (TD/JK)
