Aug. 1, 2015

A 14-year-old boy visiting Traverse City from southwest Michigan was arrested early Friday morning for home invasion in the first degree and attempted home invasion in the first degree.

The teenager entered a home in East Bay Township on US-31 during the night and pulled on the clothing of a woman sleeping inside, waking her. The woman, who was also visiting the area on vacation, chased the boy out of the house and off the property. Based on a description she provided, deputies were able to locate the boy on his bicycle in East Bay Township. The juvenile was also connected with another attempted break-in at a nearby hotel room, where two occupants reported waking to their door open and their exterior window screen cut. An eyewitness saw a teenager leaving the property on a bicycle. 

Deputies, who said the juvenile's intentions "are not completely known at this time," are continuing to investigate the incidents. The teenager was released to the custody of his parents.
