A 20-year-old man from Roseville learned he will serve 8 months in prison for his involvement in break-ins at an automotive dealership in Ohio and Michigan.
Robert A. Adams, Jr had previously pled guilty to one count each of attempted grand theft of a motor vehicle, receiving stolen property, possessing criminal tools, and improperly handling firearms, according to a release from the office of the Fulton County prosecuting attorney.
Adams attempted to steal a vehicle, was in possession of key fobs, gloves, ski masks, cell phones, an electronic programming device, and firearms with the intent to use them criminally, and “did knowingly transport or have a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle in such a manner that the firearm is accessible to the operator or any passenger without leaving the vehicle.”
Adams was part of a group of 6 who were indicted in the break-in.
A December 2024 release from the Archbold Police Department states that officers were dispatched to Terry Henrick’s Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Dealership at about 2:19 a.m. on Nov. 27, 2024, where they arrived to find several suspects fleeing from the back of the building.
The other suspects are 17-year-old Jamarion T. Lewis of Phoenix, Ariz., and 27-year-old Kemonie J. Williams of Highland Park, Mich., as well as 48-year-old Robert J. Freiburger II, 18-year-old Robert L. Freiburger III, and 19-year-old Joseph R. Strzelecki, all of Oxford, Mich.
They have all received sentences ranging from community service to prison time.
Multiple agencies from Michigan and Ohio, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, assisted in the initial investigation, which linked the group to additional incidents in both states, including high-speed chases, coordinated vehicle theft operations, and a chop shop.
