At approximately 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023, deputies from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a new home under construction in Marion Township about the theft of building materials. The owners of the home were there when a silver pickup entered onto the property, someone loaded several boxes of siding into the pickup, and left heading north on D-19.
Deputies located the vehicle on westbound I-96 near D-19, and performed a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver, a 36-year-old Lansing resident, was arrested and lodged in the Livingston County Jail for larceny of construction materials. This incident remains under investigation by the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office.
