GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — A 31-year-old Grand Haven man will be charged with a felony after officials say he admitted to stalking a 17-year-old girl for several months.

According to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department, the suspect was arrested at about 6:30 a.m. in Blendon Township. Investigators say they received a suspicious vehicle report in the area of 96th Avenue and Port Sheldon Road  and later stopped the man for questioning.
