A 38-year-old Arenac County man has been arrested on homicide charges in Arenac Township.

On Monday, Oct. 14, the Arenac County Sheriff’s Department said deputies responded to the 1200 block of Stover Road in Arenac Township.

Dispatch had gotten a call from Jacob Fisher, 38, who said he had shot his wife.

Deputies and officers from the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department arrived on the scene and found Fisher in his driveway. Fisher informed deputies he had shot and killed his wife, Dainara Fisher. Fisher was then taken into custody.

A sheriff’s deputy and tribal police officer then discovered a deceased female in a garbage can with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Deputies were able to discover the weapon used on scene, as well as five minor children in the house.

After taking the children from the residence, the sheriff’s office contacted the Michigan State Police Crime Lab and a detective from the State Police West Branch Post to undertake a thorough joint investigation.
