GRAND HAVEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two deputies are hurt after an erratic driver hit multiple homes in Grand Haven Township Wednesday.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) says deputies initially responded to a hit-and-run at a house near 168th Avenue and Warner Street when they received word more houses were hit nearby.
Fences and mailboxes were also damaged.
Neighbors we talked to say that the suspect hit a basketball hoop in a driveway, then backed into a police car that was following.
They say the SUV then drove around a pine tree and struck a fire hydrant.
“I heard a lot of yelling, load noises, crashes," says Rachael Boocher, neighbor. "At that point I saw more cops come down Briarwood and they cornered her off; at that point I went back inside to stay out of the way. Little scary with little kids at home.”
We're told the suspect vehicle was found in the 15000 block of Briarwood Street. The driver, a 38-year-old woman from Grand Haven, was arrested.
Deputies tell us two children were in the back seat of the SUV when the incident occurred. The children were unharmed, but two deputies were hurt while they detained the suspect. They are in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident remains under investigation.
