Deputies were assisted at the scene by the Newaygo Fire Department, Michigan DNR, Newaygo Police Department and the Michigan State Police. This incident remains under investigation by the Newaygo County Sheriff’s Office. The Muskegon River continues to be at higher levels than normal which causes stronger currents.
