Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has intervened to stop the parole of 51-year-old Trenton Lisle Solomon, who was scheduled for release on Tuesday, by filing an emergency appeal with the 4th Circuit Court in Jackson County. The court granted a temporary stay just one day before his release, citing concerns over Solomon's extensive criminal history, including an aggravated stalking conviction and repeated violations of legal supervision, according to the Department of Attorney General.
Solomon's record includes four felony convictions, 13 misdemeanors, and 17 personal protection orders, along with a 2021 incident where he cut off his GPS tether and skipped sentencing. Despite these issues, the Michigan Parole Board initially approved his release, a decision Nessel's office called premature and risky, as reported by the Department of Attorney General.
Nessel's office filed an appeal noting Solomon's history of violence, stalking, and repeated violations of probation and parole, including six probation grants and four parole grants. Nessel stated, "People who have been victims of stalking and violence shouldn’t have to live in fear because someone with a long history of criminal behavior is being prematurely released," and requested that Solomon remain in custody. The court has upheld this decision for now, and Solomon remains in jail pending further review, as mentioned by the Department of Attorney General.
