COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A man who entered a guilty plea to a charge of second degree home invasion was ordered to serve five to 15 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections Monday in Branch County Circuit Court.
50-year-old Jamie Fuller was charged in connection with the break in of a Ovid Township home last Labor Day.
In exchange for his plea, Branch County Prosecutors dismissed the rest of the charges including counts of first degree home invasion and assault with a weapon.
The Michigan Department of Corrections web site indicated at the time of his arrest that Fuller absconded from parole August 15, 2018. The sentence he was given Monday will be consecutive to his current parole after he was given a five year sentence in December 2014 for Operating While Intoxicated.
Michigan State Police say Fuller confronted the resident at a patio door. Fuller who then broke the glass and got inside. He assaulted the resident and then went to the kitchen and got a glass of milk and a knife, which investigators say was used to threaten the resident.
Fuller fled when a Michigan State Police trooper and a Branch County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived. He was eventually arrested after K-9’s were brought in to help search for him through a swamp and wooded area.
