Police also believe a struggle ensued between the two and Mikes, Senior was killed as a result of blunt force trauma.
"On Wednesday, August eighth, based upon the review of the evidence presented, representatives of the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office authorized the request for an arrest warrant charging Patrick Joe Mikes, Junior, the victim's son, with homicide, open murder," said Captain Bob Redmond. "Mr. Mikes was taken into custody this evening without incident and is being held pending an arraignment, which will take place at the 52-4 District Court tomorrow afternoon."
"I'd like to remind everyone that this remains an ongoing investigation. Also that the body of Patrick Mikes, Senior has not yet been recovered and his bicycle still remains missing."
Police say Mikes, Junior was arrested while he was eating at a restaurant in Rochester Hills.
