Ypsilanti teenager ordered to stand trial in Saline break-in
An Ypsilanti teenager was ordered to stand trial on home invasion charges stemming from a series of home break-ins and attempted break-ins in Milan and Saline last month, court records show.
And his younger accomplice was recently charged in a juvenile court warrant, police said.
James Nunnally, 17, was bound over to circuit court for trial on charges of third-degree home invasion and possession of burglary tools following a preliminary hearing last week. He remains free on a $15,000 bond that was posted on Feb. 1, records show.
Nunnally and the 16-year-old boy were arrested by Saline police officers who responded to a burglary in progress in the 400 block of Marlpool Drive on Jan. 25. The teens were sitting in a vehicle with small electronics and jewelry that was later determined to be stolen from a nearby home, police reports said.
Investigators said the teens pried open a sliding glass door.
Saline Detective Don Lupi said the younger suspect, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, was also charged with home invasion.
Milan police also sought attempted home invasion charges against the two for allegedly trying to break into a home earlier that morning. A neighbor scared them off and called police.Â
The cases are pending.

My advice for home owners it to not be so naive as to think that your neighborhood is safe. Get an alarm system and arm it during the day. Yes, those kids should have been in school but they knew you weren't home either.

2 views -. 1. Both teens are likely going to jail - whether on this offense or their next one - and there they will learn from other convicts how to better rob homes and how to commit more crimes - that is what criminals learn in jail. 2. The next house they break into may be protected by Glock or Smith and Wesson. I can't begin to tell you how many neighbors I have the carry for protection. I don't believe any currently do not carry! So these 2 kids should feel lucky they are still breathing and/or not in the hospital with chest wounds.

To djm....Seems to me that people that break into homes are not all that concerned about going to school. What world do you live in?

Was the home invasions committed [allegedly] on a school day? Why weren't they in school?
