(WWJ) A Pontiac man is in jail after allegedly shooting a 52-year old man to death inside a pickup truck.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Department says Antonio Jason Craig, 52, of Pontiac was found shot several times inside a truck which was parked in the middle of Karen Court, near Hopkins Avenue, at approximately 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
The truck had a salt spreader attached. It's unclear if Craig was salting streets while it snowed.
The suspect, identified as a 26-year old, was arrested by members of the Sheriff's Directed Patrol Unit while inside a vehicle in the parking lot of a Waterford Township restaurant at Dixie Highway and Scott Lake Road just after 9:30p.m. Multiple police dogs and a drone were used to help detectives identify the suspect.
“With swift, coordinated work and the full strength of our combined resources, our team was able to identify the suspect in this senseless homicide, locate him, and take him into custody,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement. “I look forward to seeing him held fully accountable.”
The case will be turned over to the Oakland County Prosecutor's office for charges as soon as Tuesday.
No motive for the shooting has been released.
