Trial pushed back for alleged designer bag thief
Grand Haven jury trial for 22 year old Christian Steven Bracamontes on armed robbery and firearm charges moved from December 4 to January 30, 2019. Victim Jerad Kluting, owner of a Louis Vuitton bag, was not harmed but says he suffers PTSD after the May incident on Riley Bracamontes Street. Bracamontes remains jailed, with charges including armed robbery and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. Judge Karen Miedema will oversee the case in the 20th Circuit.
