A 17-year-old juvenile was arrested by the Macomb County Sheriff’s Department for breaking into and detonating an explosive device in a home in Mount Clemens causing extensive fire damage to the residence during the early morning hours of April 10.
It was reported that seven people, including two infants were in the home at the time of the incident. The occupants were able to escape without being physically harmed.
A preliminary hearing was held in the Macomb County Family Court lasts Friday.
Referee George Keller granted the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office request for a special adjournment to April 17 to decide if the interests of justice and protection of the public require the defendant to be tried as an adult. The juvenile remains detained in the Juvenile Justice Center.
“We will make a determination about the totality of charges against the alleged perpetrator following a thorough review of all available evidence,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. “This was an extremely serious crime that endangered the lives of seven people and caused substantial damage to a home. I am especially outraged that the lives of two infants were put a risk.”
