Joseph Bruneau is out on bond from the Hillsdale County Jail, according to Paige Garcia, a clerk for the Hillsdale County Court. 

Bruneau was the subject of an email sent by Hillsdale College Security that warned students, faculty, and staff to call 911 if he approached them. He was arrested and charged with larceny, domestic violence, and resisting arrest last October. 

“He posted bond and was released on Feb. 15,” Garcia said.

Among the conditions of Bruneau’s current bond is a no trespass order on Hillsdale College property, according to Joe Kellam, the college’s director of security and emergency management. 

“He has a tether on and there is a geofence around the college that will alert authorities if he enters Hillsdale College property,” Kellam said. “It is important to remember that he is out on bond and is free to walk the city as he pleases.”

Hillsdale County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Jamie Wisniewski said the charges for larceny and resisting arrest are set to move forward into preliminary exams, where the prosecutor will look for probable cause, while the domestic violence case will have a pre-trial hearing in the coming weeks.
