Clinton Township, MI – A Fort Gratiot man accused of a string of violent crimes across multiple jurisdictions was arraigned Thursday, October 9, 2025, at the 41B District Court in Clinton Township.
According to Clinton Township Police, 52-year-old Thomas Tackett faces a slate of felony charges, including carjacking, multiple counts of home invasion, assault with a dangerous weapon, and fleeing police. Tackett, a habitual offender with prior convictions, could face life in prison if convicted.
Authorities said Tackett’s alleged crime spree involved several home invasions and a carjacking that led to a multi-jurisdiction police pursuit earlier this week. The chase ended Monday, October 6, when Tackett was taken into custody and lodged at the Macomb County Jail, where he remains without bond.
The felony charges include four counts of first-degree home invasion, second-degree home invasion, felonious assault, and resisting or obstructing police officers. Tackett also faces misdemeanor counts for reckless driving and operating with a suspended license.
Each major felony is enhanced under Michigan’s Habitual Offender – Fourth Offense statute, increasing possible penalties to life imprisonment or any term of years, with a mandatory minimum of 25 years.
The case remains under investigation, with police from multiple jurisdictions assisting in reviewing related incidents and evidence.
