Crime scene investigation leads to suspect's arrest

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is announcing another success in the city of Pontiac as a result of a quick response by Deputies and an investigation from the Sheriff's top notch forensic science investigation team. On August 19, Deputies responded to a home alarm in the city of Pontiac. It appeared as if the home invasion was interrupted by Deputies as a big screen TV and speakers were disconnected and removed from the wall, but not taken. A follow up investigation was conducted by Oakland County Forensic Lab Technicians when fingerprints were lifted from the television. The latent prints were entered into the Oakland County AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) which identified Cory Jarron Hunt, dob 12/31/93, as a suspect. Mr. Hunt had three previous arrests for fleeing and eluding, retail fraud, and possession of cocaine. A warrant was obtained for home invasion second degree, and Mr. Hunt was arrested last week in Circuit Court during his arraignment on an unrelated drug (cocaine) charge. This is an example of the Sheriff's Office resources working together to get the criminals off the streets of Pontiac. In the past month, the Pontiac Substation has arrested over 250 serious felons in the City of Pontiac. "Criminals wanting to do business in Pontiac should be on notice," said Sheriff Bouchard. "We are not going to tolerate any criminal activity. Every crime will be thoroughly investigated and we are going to continue to work diligently to protect the residents and businesses from harm."
