MONROE COUNTY, Michigan — An "armed and dangerous" person of interest in a southeast Michigan shooting investigation was arrested Wednesday, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
James Pattenaude, 38, of Monroe County, was identified as a person of interest in an incident where multiple shots were fired in a home in Exeter Township, Michigan, on Monday, the sheriff's office said.
Pattenaude was lodged in jail "on a variety of criminal charges" and will be arraigned in the Monroe County District Court, the sheriff's office said.
According to a media release on Wednesday, Pattenaude was located parked in a lot near the intersection of Airport Highway and South Reynolds Road in south Toledo Wednesday afternoon.
Pattenaude fled an arrest attempt in his vehicle and led authorities on a pursuit to Monroe County. He then stopped at the intersection of Memorial Highway and Head O Lake Road in Whiteford Township, Michigan, where he fled on foot and was then taken into custody, the sheriff's office said.
The owner of the home that was shot into on Monday told responding deputies that he was inside his home when he heard gunfire that hit the front of his house, according to a media release. The homeowner said he watched a vehicle speed away following the shooting.
Detectives opened an investigation and said Pattenaude and the homeowner know each other and the shooting is not a random event.
The case is still under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call 734-240-7530, the sheriff's office said.
