Man found guilty of home invasion and assault

On June 1, a Macomb County jury convicted Maurice Frazier, a 40 year-old man from Detroit, of Home Invasion (20 year felony), and Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm less than Murder (10 year felony) after a four day jury trial by Assistant Prosecutor Dena Keller.

On May 1, 2023, Frazier entered his ex-girlfriend's Warren home without permission while she, her boyfriend and six children were sleeping.  Frazier barged into his ex-girlfriend’s bedroom with a machete and sliced her new boyfriend’s arm with the 23 inch blade.  The victim sustained severe injury to his arm.

Frazier will be sentenced on Tuesday,  July 18, at 9 a.m. in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Richard Caretti.

“We are grateful to the jury for their careful consideration and thoughtful deliberation in this case. Finding the defendant guilty of home invasion and assault with intent to do great bodily harm, sends a powerful message that our community will not tolerate acts of intrusion and violence. This outcome stands as a testament to the strength of our justice system and the unwavering commitment of our law enforcement and prosecution team. Through our team approach, we have worked hard, and have ensured that justice prevailed,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
