WRIGHT TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Dec. 17, 2022) – On a snowy Saturday morning in northeast Ottawa County, a truly unusual occurrence took place.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Matthew Wildfong, deputies were dispatched just before 11 AM to the area of 16th Avenue near Garfield Street north of Marne, in the area of the Serenity Point Recovery treatment center, on a report of a person that was damaging property there, including pulling fire alarms. Members of the joint Wright-Tallmadge Fire Department also responded to reset those pulled fire alarms.
However, when the fire truck arrived and crew members disembarked to reset those alarms, the suspect that apparently caused the ruckus jumped into that vacant vehicle and drove off. He was tracked to a residence in the city of Grand Rapids, where he was arrested without further incident, and the stolen truck was recovered with no apparent damage caused.
The unnamed suspect is in the Ottawa County Jail awaiting arraignment on various charges. The case remains under investigation.
