GRAND HAVEN, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Nov. 23, 2022) – A 25-year-old Holland woman has been arraigned on charges stemming from a Monday morning stolen vehicle and stolen credit cards incident on Holland’s North Side.
On Tuesday, Alyssa Aplin was ordered held on $35,000 bond by Grand Haven District Court Judge Craig Bunce on counts of meth possession, receiving and concealing stolen property, stealing a financial transaction device, two counts of assaulting/resisting a police officer, and being a habitual offender third notice.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Detective Captain Jake Sparks, deputies were dispatched to the Leisure Estates manufactured home community off of Butternut Drive near James Street around 2:10 AM on Monday. That was where a female victim reported that her vehicle was stolen from in front of her residence, with her purse, wallet and credit cards inside.
A little more than an hour later, authorities received a report of the suspect woman attempting to use credit cards taken in the theft at a convenience store off of Hayes Street and 168th Avenue south of Grand Haven. Deputies and Grand Haven Public Safety police officers arrived at the scene, and the suspect tried to drive off.
She crashed the vehicle on a curb and fled on foot to a nearby business, where she climbed a stack of crates and pallets about 15 feet high and refused to come down. The suspect eventually surrendered to the deputies and officers at that scene and was taken to North Ottawa Community Hospital for treatment of minor injuries before going to the Ottawa County Jail. The vehicle and other property taken in the initial crime were recovered and returned to the victim.
The case remains open, and anyone with any information is asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department or Silent Observer.
