A person of interest in the 1983 murder of a Vicksburg teenager is now behind bars in Kalamazoo County, arrested on charges not related to the killing, according to police.
Brenton Spaulding, 50, was arrested on Monday, June 20, for domestic violence. He's currently being held in Kalamazoo County jail without bond.
We're told Spaulding is a person of interest in the death of 16-year-old Erik Cross. Cross was found by his father in the road near his family's home on June 26, 1983.
In September 2015, the Kalamazoo Sheriff's Department said detectives learned of an effort to hide information and lie to both investigators and family about what happened. They believe Cross may have been intentionally hit by a car.
