JACKSON, MI - A man who spent the greater part of a decade in prison for 21 separate incidents of home invasion has just been arraigned for his 22nd.

Tracy Ott, 36, was video arraigned by Magistrate Judge Fred Bishop Monday, Nov. 6, on one felony count each of assault with intent to rob while armed, carjacking, first-degree home invasion, unlawful imprisonment, larceny of a firearm and felony firearms.

A preliminary examination is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Nov. 21 in District Judge Daniel Goostrey's courtroom.

In 2005, Ott was sentenced to serve seven to 15 years in prison for 21 home invasions crossing multiple counties, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections. He was released from prison in June this year.

Ott was apprehended Oct. 31 after leading police on a chase through multiple counties that ended with him crashing into a tree in Allegan County, Jackson County Undersheriff Christopher Kuhl said.

Police investigating the Oct. 28 home invasion in the 9000 block of Pope Church Road in Tompkins Township identified Ott as a suspect in the incident, but were unable to locate him and requested assistance from the Michigan State Police Fugitive Team, Kuhl said.

Ott allegedly forced his way into the woman's home, tied her up and stole possessions and her SUV before leaving with the woman still tied up, police said.

The woman managed to free herself and call 911.

While he was on the run, Ott allegedly stole two more cars and broke into five homes in the Kalamazoo area, Kalamazoo County Undersheriff James VanDyken said.

Ott was shot at during one of the alleged home invasions in Richland Township, VanDyken said. No injuries were reported.

The maximum penalty for assault with intent to rob while armed as well as carjacking is life in prison.

Ott is currently lodged in the Jackson County Jail with bond set at $500,000.
