BATTLE CREEK – Calhoun County deputies on Wednesday arrested an Ingham County man who was wanted on the run while on trial for attempted murder.
The 41-year-old man was arrested along Interstate 69, south of Interstate 94, shortly after 3 p.m., according to a release from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office.
At the time of his arrest, the man was in possession of several firearms and bulletproof vests. He was turned over to the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office is pursuing multiple charges. The investigation is still ongoing, police said.
The incident began Wednesday around 3 p.m., when Ingham County police issued a Be On the Lookout notice on the 41-year-old Mason man, the release said. The man, who is on trial for attempted murder, removed a court-ordered tether device and fled from an unspecified location, police said.
About 3:15 p.m., a Calhoun County sheriff’s deputy spotted a vehicle matching the Ingham County description traveling westbound on I-94 near Old 27 Highway.
The deputy coordinated with additional police units and then attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle traveled south on I-69 for approximately four miles before stopping at mile marker 28.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Michigan State Police, the Marshall Police Department and the Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch.
