BLENDON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Police say two people who drove through the Blendon Township Fire Station bay doors and barricaded themselves inside early Thursday morning are now in custody.
According to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office (OCSO), the initial call they got was for a suspicious car parked near Baldwin St and 64th.
When deputies approached, the woman reportedly tried to drive off — even ramming into a cruiser before turning into the fire station parking lot and driving through the bay doors. The suspects then barricaded themselves inside.
Crisis negotiators arrived on the scene to attempt to talk the pair into getting out of the car.
No injuries have been reported.
Just before 8:30 a.m., the suspect vehicle attempted to back out of the station and crashed into a cruiser. Officials were then able to take the 22-year-old female driver and 18-year-old male passenger into custody. Both were taken to a local hospital.
A fire truck was damaged in addition to the building and cruiser.
OCSO tells us one deputy was examined at the hospital but did not incur serious injuries in the incident, which remains under investigation.
