On Oct. 28, officers from the Lake Orion Police Department arrested Juan Greg Ramirez for multiple charges relating to a home invasion and larceny that occurred on Park Island Rd. in Lake Orion on Sept. 30.
The victim in this matter met Ramirez in July and, after a short courtship, allowed him to move into her residence. Not long after, the relationship ended and Mr. Ramirez moved out. The victim returned home from work to find her home ransacked, and many expensive items and firearms had been stolen from the home. Evidence at the scene indicated Ramirez may have been involved.
On Oct. 12 the victim received a picture on her phone sent from Ramirez of a pillow blown in half by a shotgun blast, with the shotgun in the picture. The shotgun in the picture was not a weapon listed as stolen from her home. She began to receive additional threats from Ramirez.
Mr. Ramirez was tracked to several locations in Pontiac, Waterford and West Bloomfield. During the investigation, officers recovered recovered evidence linking Ramirez to the intimidation and theft.
Based on interviews with persons who had recent contact with Ramirez, it was believed that he was attempting to raise funds to flee the state.

Clarkston- A 27-year-old Ortonville man was arraigned June 4 in 52-2 District Court on three counts of second-degree home invasion, all related to the same home in the village.
According to police reports, Richard Orville Osantowski turned himself in to the Brandon substation and admitted breaking in to a home in the 500 block of Mill Street. The first break-in was reported May 31 by the homeowner who left his home at 5:45 a.m. without setting the alarm and returned at 7 p.m. to find the rear basement entry door kicked in.
Osantowski returned on June 1 and June 2, kicking in the front entry door on both days. In admitting his guilt, Osantowski told the Brandon police detective he had broken in because he wanted something to drink. He took whiskey from the home and acknowledged he has a drinking problem. His shoe prints matched those found at the scene.
A preliminary exam for Osantowski is set for 8:30 a.m., June 18, in front of 52-2 District Court Judge Dana Fortinberry.
