Homeowner fends off intruder
One man is now lodged in Delta County jail after trespassing inside a Ford River Township residence.
Deputies from the Gladstone Post of the Michigan State Police Department were called to the home in question around 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning with reports of a male intruder inside. The suspect was then chased outside by the homeowner where a police perimeter was being put in place. A K-9 unit from Gladstone Public Safety was brought in to then track the intruder. Officers observed the suspect attempting to cross a nearby roadway an hour later around 6:55 a.m. Police were then able to surround the man and take him into custody without incident. The suspect’s name is being withheld pending arraignment.
Michigan State Police troopers and officers from Gladstone Public Safety were assisted on the scene by Rampart EMS.
