LEIGHTON TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Some anxious moments Tuesday evening in a northeast Allegan County community ended with an arrest.
According to Sheriff’s Sergeant Brandon Berens, deputies and other first responders were dispatched to the Hunters Glen Mobile Home Park near Moline just before 7:00 p.m. on a report of a domestic assault. It was learned that a suspect had assaulted one of the residents inside of a unit and threatened others by brandishing a firearm.
While the victim and the other residents were able to escape, the suspect barricaded himself inside when law enforcement arrived. After several hours of negotiations with crisis team staffers, the suspect surrendered peacefully and was taken to the Allegan County Jail, there to await an arraignment on various charges.
Berens did not say if there were any injuries sustained by the residents at that unit as the incident remains under investigation.
