MENOMINEE, MI-- A Bark River man has pleaded no contest to the murder of his adoptive father in Menominee County.
Gary Phillips-Donovan, 36, was arrested in November of 2019 after 74-year-old Michael Donovan was found dead of blunt force trauma in his garage.
Phillips-Donovan was charged with open murder and two counts of home invasion. He pleaded Monday to second-degree murder.
A jury trial scheduled for April was delayed because of the pandemic.
Sentencing is set for November 5 in Menominee County Circuit Court.
