On Monday 08/26/19 at 11:58 a.m. Eaton County Deputies assigned to the Delta Township patrol responded to the 4000 Block of West Saginaw Hwy for the report of a possible abduction.  A witness reported seeing a male approach a female on foot, grab her by the neck, and drag her across the parking lot to a vehicle.  The witness was able to obtain detailed information at the scene, which assisted Deputies, with the assistance of the Michigan State Police, to identify the suspect and victim.

The victim was located, safe, a short time later.  The suspect was also located at a different location and taken into custody.  The victim and suspect are known to each other and this was not a random act.  

Eaton County Deputies were assisted by the Michigan State Police as well as the Michigan State University Police in this investigation.  Detectives from the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office continue to investigate this incident.  At this time Detectives will be seeking charges for domestic violence at a minimum and the Eaton County Prosecutor’s Office will determine if additional charges are warranted.
