HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Charges are pending for a 34-year-old Sparta man who was arrested on Monday for allegedly assaulting his 24-year-old estranged wife and kidnapping their 16-month-old daughter from her Coopersville home.
The suspect broke into a Main Street residence in the pre-dawn hours, in violation of a PPO issued against him last week, and attempted to strangle the woman, who was able to escape.
He then took the child to a North Division Avenue residence in Sparta, where he was subsequently arrested, and the youth was not harmed.
The woman was taken to Spectrum-Butterworth Hospital for treatment. The suspect is being held in the Ottawa County Jail.
