Yesterday we informed you about an armed stand-off in Spring Lake Township. An armed suspect barricaded himself inside a house near Spring Lake for more than 16 hours.

Here is the original article.

The Ottawa County Sherriff's department handled the stand-off for 16 hours which prompted a shelter in place order for nearby residents. The incident occurred at a house house on Palm Drive near Hoffmaster Drive in Spring Lake Township.

An attempted traffic stop resulted in a short pursuit of a wanted man. He was wanted on a felony warrant. The terse chase with deputies culminated with the man going inside a house. A woman who is in a relationship with the suspect was inside the house but later exited unharmed around 6 a.m.
