ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Spencer John Payne and Cedrick Michael Sims were arraigned Wednesday in connection to two violent home invasions.
According to authorities, the two men are accused of breaking into two houses, tying up and threatening the occupants.
Police said it happened between 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. Oct. 8 at two houses, one on Sharon Drive and one on Macomb Street.
Police say in the home on Macomb Street, the family -- a single father with three children, ages 5, 13 and 17 -- were tied up with electrical cords and clothing around their hands and feet.
Police said they then went back to the first house, apologized, untied the father and told him not to untie the children yet.
