A Mexican national remains in custody in Northern Michigan after he was identified as the suspect in a sexual assault on Mackinac Island earlier this month. Mackinac Island is a picturesque tourist destination located in Lake Huron between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. Some say going to Mackinac Island is almost like taking a "step back in time" with its breathtaking views, Victorian architecture, and strict prohibition of motor vehicles. MIPD described Jaimez in the press release as 'a 30-year-old male from Mexico.' According to a press release from the Mackinac Island Police Department, a woman was walking alone on Main Street, just east of Hoban Street, around 2:15 a.m. on September 16. At that point, a man forced her to the ground, sexually assaulted her, and then fled the scene on foot. The woman was taken to the Mackinac Island Medical Center for treatment, the press release said. Later that day, Carlos Adrian Fernandez De Lara Jaimez was identified as the suspect.
