GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A suspect is in custody after barricading himself inside a southeast Grand Rapids home Wednesday evening.
The Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) tells us they responded to a domestic complaint at around 5:40 p.m. in the 3300 block of Poinsettia Avenue, by Van Auken St. not far from Ken-O-Sha Elementary. They were previously called to the home at 2:30 a.m. for a PPO violation.
We're told a woman said her ex-boyfriend was holding her at knife point.
Police say the woman left the home with her 2-year-old boy unharmed when officers arrived.
The suspect, a 37-year-old man, stayed inside and barricaded himself, according to GRPD. Officers tried to communicate with the man for roughly four hours when they ultimately entered the home. The suspect surrendered without further incident.
GRPD extends their gratitude to Life EMS and the Grand Rapids Fire Department for arriving in case their services were required.
