6/18/14 - Two more Grand Rapids men have been arrested in connection with an incident in which intruders armed with multiple handguns and rifles stormed a home in Oceola Township. Both were lodged in Livingston County Jail Monday and 39-year-old Ronald Johnny-Wayne Morrell was arraigned late Tuesday on 26 charges including 1st degree home invasion, unlawful imprisonment, larceny in a building, and various felony weapons charges. His bond was set at $2 (m) million. Several suspects broke into the home on North Hughes Road on June 10th. A physical confrontation ensued and a shot was fired from one of the intruderâs weapons, although no injuries resulted. One of seven other people in the residence at the time of the attack was kicked in the mouth and lost some teeth. A possible motive has not been made public but Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte tells WHMI the home was targeted and it was no coincidence. The other Grand Rapids man arrested Monday is expected to be arraigned sometime Wednesday and face similar charges as Morrell and 28-year-old Richard J. Quam. Quam is also being held on a $2 (m) million bond and faces 28 charges. (JM)
