Oakland County Salt Truck Driver Found Shot To Death: Sheriff

PONTIAC, MI — A 52-year-old Pontiac man was shot to death while salting the roads in Oakland County over the weekend, according to the sheriff's office.

Officers found Antonio Jason Craig shot dead with multiple gunshot wounds inside his pickup truck that was stopped in the middle of Karen Court, just south of Hopkins Avenue in Pontiac at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, officials said.

Investigators quickly identified a suspected shooter and arrested him roughly two hours later in the parking lot of a Waterford Township restaurant at Dixie Highway and Scott Lake Road, officials said.

That 26-year-old Pontiac man was placed in the Oakland County Jail and is expected to be charged in connection with the shooting this week, officials said.

"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," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "I look forward to seeing him held fully accountable."

No other details about the shooting were released.
