ALLENDALE TWP., MI (WHTC) – A 27-year-old Allendale area man is spending the Independence Day holiday behind bars – the hard way.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Captain John Wolffis, a pickup truck that was reported stolen was spotted on Warner Street near 84th Avenue late on Sunday evening by a deputy who attempted to pull the vehicle over. The suspect sped off eastbound and subsequently attempted to make a sharp right turn onto 48th Avenue, but rolled the vehicle over instead into a field and surrendered without further incident.
After treatment at Holland Hospital for minor injuries, the unnamed suspect was taken to the Ottawa County Jail, where he awaits arraignment on charges of fleeing and eluding, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and driving on a suspended license.
