GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 31-year-old Grand Rapids man was arrested after the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple reports Tuesday morning of a man entering unlocked vehicles.

Deputies were dispatched just before 7:30 a.m. to the area of Cottonwood Drive and Baldwin Street in Georgetown Township, according to a news release.

The man tried to run away when responding deputies found him near the area.

Deputies say he was arrested without further incident.
