Fort Gratiot Man Ordered to Stand Trial

A Fort Gratiot man is headed to trial after prosecutors say he carried out a violent crime spree across Macomb County. Fifty-three-year-old Thomas Tackett faces 13 charges, including carjacking and multiple home invasions, after incidents in Harrison Township and St. Clair Shores last October. Authorities say he broke into several occupied homes, stabbed a man with a fork, damaged a golf course, and led deputies on a high-speed chase on I-94 before being arrested. Tackett remains jailed without bond and is set for arraignment June 29th.
