PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A 27-year-old Portage man has been arrested following the investigation into the death of a 14-month-old girl in August.
Portage Department of Public Safety detectives, along with Kalamazoo Township Police, arrested Jacob Britton Emmendorfer last Friday in connection with the death of Meilani Hart, who was found unresponsive in an apartment in the 6100 block of Condor Court.
The Kalamazoo County Prosecutor’s Office issued charges of open murder, first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree child abuse after the Kalamazoo County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the girl was the victim of homicide.
Emmendorfer, the estranged boyfriend of the baby’s mother, was arraigned Monday in Kalamazoo County 8th District Court. Bond was denied.
