ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Deputies arrested a man armed with a handgun after as they heard about a felonious assault Sunday.

According to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to the 11300 block of 60th Avenue in Allendale Township around 1:15 on Sunday afternoon.

Deputies were told that, during the incident, a man fired a gun in the front yard of a house at that address.

The suspect then ran away, heading east and presumably carrying a handgun, deputies say.

Deputies originally asked the public to avoid the area, said neighbors should remain in their homes and told people not to confront the suspect.

The suspect was apprehended without incident at about 2:18 p.m. as he was walking in the area of 56th Avenue and Rich Street.

He is being held in the Ottawa County Jail and will be arraigned in court Monday.

The Sheriff's Office continues to investigate. Anybody with any information about this incident is being asked to call 9-1-1.
