A man has been arrested after a five-day investigation into the death of a pregnant Amish woman in Crawford County earlier this week, state police said.
According to a press release, state police were notified of a deceased female at a home on Fish Flats Road in Sparta Township around 12:30 p.m. Monday afternoon and the death was investigated as a homicide.
State police announced that Shawn Cranston, 52, had been identified and taken into custody Saturday morning.
Online court dockets show that Cranston faces one count of criminal homicide, one count of criminal homicide of an unborn child, one charge of overnight burglary with a person present where a bodily injury crime was committed and one charge of criminal trespassing.
Court dockets also show that Cranston is currently being held at the Crawford County Prison and was denied bail due to the possibility of a life sentence.
Cranston has a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 15.
