FAWN RIVER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A man who was arrested two weeks ago near Sturgis for allegedly breaking into a home and sexually assaulting two girls has been charged, deputies say.

Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz, 25, was charged with first-degree home invasion and two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under the age of 13. He is a Mexican national, according to the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office, and being held on an immigration detainer, as his temporary work visa expired in December of 2021.

The charges stem from March 20, when deputies were sent to the Sweet Lake Manufactured Housing & Camping Resort Community, located at 31004 US-12 off of E Chicago Road, after receiving reports of a home invasion.

As they investigated, deputies learned that two girls under the age of 13 were sexually assaulted. The sheriff’s office used video surveillance and identified Hernandez-Ruiz as the suspect, who left the scene before being questioned. Deputies tracked him to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he was arrested.

Hernandez-Ruiz is being held without bond. He is set to appear in court on April 30.
