IRON MOUNTAIN -- A suspect has been safely taken into custody after two separate incidents which occurred on Sunday night.
According to a press release from the Michigan State Police, at approximately 7 p.m. (CST) Sunday, troopers from the MSP Iron Mountain Post assisted the Iron Mountain Police Department (IMPD) with attempting to locate a suspect after he allegedly intentionally struck another individual with his vehicle in the Iron Mountain Walmart parking lot. The victim was transported by EMS to a local hospital, where they received treatment and were subsequently released with non-life-threatening injuries. Initial attempts to locate the suspect after this incident were unsuccessful.
Later, just before 2 a.m. (CST) Monday, troopers from the Iron Mountain Post were dispatched to an alleged arson of a camper at a residence on County Road 577 in Menominee County. The preliminary investigation indicates these incidents were related and believed to have been committed by the same suspect. Shortly before 10 a.m. (CST) Monday, troopers and deputies from the Menominee County Sheriff's Office were able to safely take the suspect into custody.
The suspect, a 21-year-old man from Stephenson, is being lodged in the Dickinson County Jail. His name is not being released, pending arraignment. Further updates will be shared when available.
