A 19-year-old Ypsilanti man was arrested early Friday after attempting to break into a Pittsfield Township home through a back door, police said.

Police were dispatched at 5:03 a.m. Friday to the home in the 4300 block of Knollcrest Road, according to a police statement. One of the residents of the home reported a man was attempting to break into the home at that time.

Pittsfield Township police arrived and arrested the man. He was taken to the Washtenaw County Jail while the case has been turned over to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office for potential charges.

The man’s name was not released by police because he has not been formally arraigned on any charges to this point. There were no other suspects in the incident.
