HILLSDALE, MI (WTVB) – The suspect in Thursday’s Hillsdale County double homicide was arraigned Friday in District Court in Hillsdale.
36-year-old Alexander Lee Dombrowski was ordered held without bond at the Hillsdale County Jail on two counts of open murder and an additional count of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
If convicted of first-degree murder, Dombrowski would face life in prison without the possibility of parole. The firearm charge would add two years in prison to any existing sentence if convicted.
He is accused of killing 64-year-old Alexander Lee Dombrowski and 56-year-old neighbor Timothy John Curtiss Thursday morning at around 4 am at a residence on Grange Road in Camden Township. The younger Dombrowski was found five hours later in a bean field near the crime scene and was taken into custody without incident.
