Police Blotter: Arrest, Theft and Marijuana Raid

A 30-year-old White Lake man was arrested at 6 p.m. Tuesday after police found him in violation of his bond.

Lt. Don Nankervis said the man originally was arrested April 28 on a charge of assaulting his 29-year-old girlfriend.

He was charged, arraigned and released after posting a substantial bond. A condition of his bond was that he could not contact his victim or drink alcohol.

On Tuesday, police went to the woman's house to serve her a warrant to appear in court against the man. When they arrived, they saw the man watering the lawn at the side of the home.

Nankervis said the man took off running from police, but with the help of neighbors, he was located and arrested.

The man was arraigned on a violation of his bond and was issued a $100,000 cash bond, higher than the previous bond, with no option to pay only 10 percent. Nankervis said the man is currently sitting in jail awaiting his next court date.

Theft

Several items were taken from a home on Grass Lake near Ormond sometime after midnight on Thursday.

Nankervis said someone entered the home's shed and took a number of power tools, then entered the home's garage and took two custom bikes — one for mountain biking and a specialized road bike. They have an estimated value of $5,000 and $7,500, respectively.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 248-698-4400.

Raid

White Lake Police, in partnership with Oakland County's Narcotic Enforcement Team (NET) executed a search warrant Monday evening on a home in White Lake near Union Lake.

Through information obtained at the first home, a second home was searched.

In all, more than 8 pounds of marijuana was confiscated, along with 60 to 70 marijuana plants.

A 40-year-old White Lake resident was brought in for questioning and was released, pending further investigation.

No other information was released by police at this time. The cases remain under investigation.
