PORT SHELDON TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Feb. 18, 2025) – Four persons are in custody following a Sunday evening incident involving a weapon and an assault north of Holland.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Detective Captain Jake Sparks, an unnamed 48-year-old Holland man, working at a retailer off of Northpark Drive near James Street around 6:30 PM, encountered the four, ranging in ages from 17 to 40, to discuss their behavior inside of the establishment. One of the suspects then brandished a handgun and threatened the employee, before the four left the scene. The Holland man was not hurt, and was able to give a description of the suspects and the vehicle they left the scene in to responding deputies.
About 40 minutes later, deputies spotted that vehicle in the area of US-31 and Stanton Street and pulled it over. The suspects attempted to leave the scene, with one being caught after a short foot chase, another scuffled before being apprehended, and the other two detained without incident. Several handguns were recovered at the scene.
The 17-year-old was taken to the county’s Juvenile Detention Center, while the other three are in the county Jail awaiting arraignment on various charges.
The matter remains under investigation, and anyone with any information is asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department or Ottawa County Silent Observer (877-887-4536).
