KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A wanted man was arrested inside a Kalamazoo hospital Thursday afternoon.
The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) says officers tried to take a 32-year-old man into custody when he took off in a car.
During the pursuit, the suspect’s vehicle reached speeds of about 120 miles per hour.
When the pursuit went into the city of Kalamazoo, deputies terminated their pursuit due to safety concerns for other drivers and pedestrians.
We’re told the car was found near Bronson Hospital shortly after.
The hospital’s security staff helped authorities determine the suspect had walked inside the building, according to KDPS.
Public safety officials say the man was found and arrested 15 minutes later.
The suspect was lodged at the Kalamazoo County Jail on a fresh charge of fleeing and eluding, as well as an outstanding parole absconding warrant.
Those with knowledge of the incident are encouraged to connect with KDPS by calling 269-337-8120. Tips may be submitted anonymously to Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
