In a disturbing turn of events in St. Clair County, 33-year-old Brent Durrant was arrested and charged with attempted murder following the stabbing of two family members on August 29, according to authorities. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office reported that a man and a woman were attacked in their home on Parker Rd in Fort Gratiot Township; the 56-year-old man suffered multiple stab wounds, while the 55-year-old woman received cuts to her hands, as mentioned by Audacy.
After the incident, authorities launched a two-day manhunt that concluded with Durrant’s capture on Saturday, the search involved multiple police agencies and emergency units, and the intense effort ended without further incident despite Durrant fleeing the scene originally, and the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office thanked agencies, including the Michigan State Police and the U.S. Coast Guard, for their assistance, as detailed by ClickOnDetroit. While the motive behind the stabbing remains unclear, Durrant was charged with assault with intent to murder on Tuesday, and a judge set his bond at $250,000.
During the time Durrant was at large, the sheriff's office had warned the public not to approach him, noting that he might still be armed and emphasizing his mental disability, as reported by Hoodline.
