A 27-year-old Ann Arbor man is being held on a $500,000 bond on home invasion and stalking charges after he was arrested last week.

Joseph Adkins is charged with first-degree home invasion and two counts of aggravated stalking stemming from an incident Saturday. Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said police were dispatched at 8:03 a.m. Saturday to the 700 block of Miller Avenue for a breaking and entering report.

Bush confirmed Adkins was arrested but would not release details of the incident because it was a domestic violence situation.

Jail records indicate Adkins violated a previously established bond condition in a separate case. He had a hearing Tuesday morning for violating a no-contact order with the victim in the case he violated during the home invasion.

Online court records indicate Adkins pleaded guilty to one charge of third-degree retail fraud on April 15. He was sentenced on May 17 to one year of probation. A second charge of third-degree retail fraud was dismissed.

Adkins is lodged at the county jail after a weekend arraignment, Bush said. There is a no contact order between Adkins and the victim in the case.

A preliminary examination is set for 8:30 a.m. on June 6, Bush said.

If convicted, Adkins faces 20 years in prison and a $5,000 fine for the home invasion and five years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each stalking charge.

Domestic violence...a week ago Sunday I read a great article by Jeff Gerritt in the Toledo Blade. He noted that there had been 35 homicides in Toledo and 14 of them had been caused by domestic violence. This is a serious offense. No plea bargains, please. http://www.toledoblade.com/JeffGerritt/2013/05/19/City-s-dirty-little-secret-Domestic-violence-behind-many-homicides.html
