Allan Jerome Hughes, Jr
ALPENA A man arrested in Arizona in conjunction with a recent home invasion, assault, and manhunt in Alpena had “high violence potential,” according to police reports.
The May 4 arrest of Allan Hughes, 28, in Phoenix stemmed from an Alpena Police Department investigation of a break-in at an Alpena home and ensuing police search for two armed men on April 27.
Although two discarded guns possibly involved in the assault were found after the escape, the Scottsdale, Arizona police asked to assist in Hughes’ arrest were told by Michigan State Police that Hughes was believed to be still armed and “very dangerous,” according to police reports obtained by The News from the Scottsdale Police Department.

The Alpena Police Department says a man involved in a home invasion on Apr. 27th has been arrested.
The department says Allan Hughes, 28, of Wyoming was apprehended Tuesday in Scottsdale, Arizona after a week long search.
Police say that Hughes, along with another suspect, entered a home on the 400 block of South Second Avenue in the early morning on Apr. 27, and demanded cash and other items from a man and a woman.
When the victims would not comply, the man was beaten in the head with the suspect’s gun. The suspects then ran from the home in a gray-colored car which was later abandoned behind a home near Ford and Miller Street.
Thief Leaves His Debit Card Inside a Michigan Home After Break-In
The not so slick alleged burglar was just arraigned in Kent County Thursday.
A break-in happened in the small, Northern Michigan town of Alpena on the evening of Halloween in 2020. So, why are we talking about this now? And how is this related to Kent County? I m glad you asked. This all began when the debit card of 30-year-old James Tanner was found at the scene of a crime. Tanner allegedly dropped his debit card, which had his name on in, after using the card to jimmy the locked door of someone else s home open. The frosting on the cake was that the homeowner actually arrived to find Tanner inside her house. He ran out as she yelled his name. Yeah, she knew him. Weird, right?
