MOLINE, Mich. — A man has surrendered after an hours-long incident at a mobile home park in Allegan County.

Police and SWAT team members were gathered at the Hunters Glen Mobile Home Park, with a focus off Tavistock Drive.

They were heard asking a man inside one of the homes to come outside, saying he was under arrest.

He was seen coming out of the home around 3:40 a.m. Wednesday.

Neighbors tell FOX 17 that law enforcement has been on the scene since around 7 p.m.

Police released a statement early Wednesday, saying they'd been called in for a report of domestic assault— the suspect was accused of threatening someone in the home with a gun while assaulting another.

Allegan County SWAT team and crisis negotiators were able to convince the man to surrender.

Officers from Gun Lake Tribal Public Safety, Wayland and Allegan Police Departments, as well as Michigan State Troopers were all part of the response.

The suspect has since been identified as Trevor Pennington.

Citing a witness statement, court documents obtained by FOX 17 allege Pennington and the victim left the home arguing when the suspect threw a cellphone onto the road. The victim recovered the phone and their argument continued. The victim then proceeded to break the phone.

Documents go on to say Trevor shoved the victim onto the stairs and grabbed her throat in an attempt to strangle her. Trevor then pulls the victim by the hair and drags her into the home, documents say.

The victim reportedly stated the incident left her gasping for air.

Documents say Pennington was arraigned Wednesday on a total of five counts related to the incident: one count of assault with intent to deal great bodily harm (less than murder) or strangulation, one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, two counts of domestic violence and one count of felony firearm.

Pennington was placed on a $50,000 cash/surety bond.
