12:30 pm- NCSO responded to a house in Grant Township for a call about a 32-year-old female being held against her will.  As the Sheriff’s Office was patrolling the area attempting to locate the suspect who had  left, they found a vehicle matching the description in the area.  The Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop the suspect vehicle and the vehicle fled into the woods.  The Sheriff’s Office was able to locate the vehicle that was now abandoned in the woods.  Sgt Bailey and K9 Dak arrived on scene and started a track.  Within 10 minutes of the track, the suspect was found hiding in a storage trailer and taken into custody without incident.  The 28-year-old male from Grant was arrested for numerous felonies and lodged at the Newaygo County Jail.

4:10 pm- NCSO received a tip about a wanted fugitive in Everett Township.  When the Sheriff’s Office arrived, it was learned that the 28-year-old male had run from the residence.  While searching the area, a neighbor stated that a male was seen running through their backyard.  Sgt Bailey and K9 Dak were called to begin a track.  While on the track, the male was located and taken into custody without incident and lodged at the Newaygo County Jail.
