Police allege that Broadenax broke into the home of a 75-year-old man on Marquette Drive in Detroit and then stole a vehicle belonging to another victim, a 52-year-old man from Dearborn Heights, late on the evening of April 29, 2025, at approximately 8:43 PM. The Detroit Police Department’s investigation into the incident led to Broadenax’s arrest shortly afterward.

At his arraignment on May 2, 2025, Broadenax was assigned a cash/surety bond of $75,000, with specific conditions that include wearing a GPS tether and being placed under house arrest.
