Mauriel Hearn (Oakland County Jail) <\/p>\n
ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (FOX 2) – A 25-year-old Ann Arbor man is facing charges after he allegedly shot a woman during a carjacking<\/a> Tuesday in Orion Township.<\/p>\n Mauriel Dashawn Hearn was charged Friday with carjacking, assault with intent to murder, fleeing police, resisting police, carrying a concealed weapon, and three counts of felony firearm.<\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n The victim was with her son outside a Panera Bread in the Baldwin Commons shopping plaza when authorities say Hearn approached her around 5:45 p.m. There was a confrontation before he allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the woman in front of her child. Hearn then took her keys and sped away in her vehicle, authorities said.<\/p>\n “As soon as she got to the parking lot, he ran, literally ran around a car and then confronted her and her young child and shot her to take her car,” he said. “There was a lot of blood on scene,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “I was there, and I was also at the hospital. And the first words out of one of the nurses was, she’s lost a lot of blood. We’re lucky she’s alive.”<\/p>\n Using drones and license plate readers, authorities located the stolen vehicle about 17 miles away in Groveland Township. There was a brief chase before Hearn crashed and was arrested.<\/p>\n The woman who was shot suffered a gunshot wound to the hip. She underwent surgery and is expected to be OK.<\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n Bouchard slammed prosecutors after the crime, saying that Hearn shouldn’t have been on the streets<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to Bouchard, Hearn has a violent past that included duct taping and hog-tying a woman to a bed and briefly suffocating her with a plastic bag while he allegedly threatened to sexually assault her.\u00a0<\/p>\n “He gets two years probation. He’s currently on probation for hog-tying a woman, duct taping her and suffocating her with a plastic bag over her head. And he’s back out on the street saying no harm, no foul,” the sheriff said. “Is that how the justice system works for our victims? I don’t think so.”<\/p>\n In a press release announcing charges against Hearn, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald agreed that he shouldn’t have been out of jail.<\/p>\n “The victims, a mother and her young child, should never have been placed in this dangerous situation because I believe this defendant should be behind bars for previous crimes,” McDonald said. “My priority is always public safety. \u00a0As prosecutors, we have a responsibility to protect the public from violent individuals like the defendant in this case. If we lose sight of that, bad things can happen to good people. I look forward to working with law enforcement to hold this defendant accountable and protect our communities.”<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n Hearn is expected to be arraigned on the charges on Friday morning.<\/p>\n The Source: Previous reporting and a press release from the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n Crime and Public Safety<\/a>Oakland County<\/a>Instastories<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article Mauriel Hearn (Oakland County Jail) ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich.
