Second murder suspect in child’s death arraigned; no bond

Adrienne Pavelka, 22, was arraigned in Alcona County on Thursday on a felony murder charge related to the death of her daughter last week.

Alcona County Prosecutor Tom Weichel announced on Wednesday that he had charged Pavelka and authorized her arrest.

Michigan State Police detectives investigating the alleged murder believed Pavelka had knowledge of or was involved with the 2-year-old child’s death and was a flight risk, according to a news release by the Michigan State Police on Thursday.

Police arrested Pavelka in Lenawee County and transported her to the Iosco County Jail.

Jail administrators said they could not immediately provide a mugshot of Pavelka.

Pavelka was arraigned in the 81st District Court on Thursday morning. She was not issued a bond.

Police last week arrested Aaron Trout, of Glennie, who was also charged with murder in the child’s death with a charge that specifies murder associated with child abuse.
