Arizona Man Squats in Dead Man’s Home, Sells His SUV – Crime Online

An Arizona man was arrested last week for breaking into a dead man’s home and selling his vehicle.

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said that Michael Macinnis, 45, forged paperwork to say he was the estate’s personal representative before selling the Chevy Tahoe to a Flagstaff resident last May.

Macinnis was found to be living in the dead man’s home in Cordes Lake months after the homeowner died. When deputies arrived to arrest him on January 3, he allegedly slammed a metal door on one of the deputies wrists and may have swallowed 40 fentanyl pills. He was given the anti-overdose drug Narcan and taken to a hospital.

“They were finally able to take him into custody and were told he had perhaps swallowed up to 40 fentanyl pills prior to his arrest, and then had purged his stomach of the drugs. Deputies say on the way to jail he was increasingly incoherent and drowsy, was administered NarCan by jail medical staff, and then taken by ambulance to the hospital,” the sheriff’s office wrote in its press release.

After his release from the hospital, he was charged with nine felonies, including aggravated assault on law enforcement, fraud, and forgery.
