GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A stand-off situation that developed early Thursday morning at a home on the city’s northeast side has ended peacefully.
Police tell us the situation started at around 12:30 a.m. on Travis Street NE, when a woman reported that she was concerned about her boyfriend’s safety after receiving a text message from him. Her description of the possible situation led police to respond with tactical teams.
Officers had made repeated attempts to make contact with the man inside, who may have been armed with a weapon. Shortly after 4:00 a.m., the suspect was taken into custody.
