OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — The suspect in a domestic disturbance case out of Georgetown Township last week has been charged.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office says they responded to reports of a reckless driver on Melody Lane on Friday, Sept. 9.
Afterwards, a truck was reportedly parked in front of a home where a family disturbance may have occurred.
Deputies say they arrived at the home to discover the house was in flames.
The fire was extinguished but the home had sustained a lot of damage, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities say 29-year-old Grandville resident Scott Hargitt was charged Wednesday with domestic violence (second offense), driving recklessly and failing to report an accident.
We’re told Hargitt posted a $50,000 cash/surety bond and has been released from custody.
More charges may be filed at a later date.
What caused the fire is still being investigated.
