A trooper from the Michigan State Police Hastings Detachment investigated a home invasion that occurred in the 12000 block of South M-43 Hwy near Hickory Corners on Monday, February 2. Several items, including a number of firearms, were stolen from the residence earlier that day.
Later on Monday, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) Officers responded to
Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo to investigate a male who stated he was assaulted with a firearm.
During KDPS’s investigation, a vehicle associated with the male was located. During the
impound procedures, officers located a firearm inside the vehicle that had been stolen from the
residence in Barry County earlier that day. It was then discovered that the male went to Bronson
Hospital because he was assaulted while attempting to sell items he had stolen from that
residence.
Further investigation led detectives from KDPS and the Michigan State Police to the 1900 Block of Bryant St. in Kalamazoo where they located several items from the Barry County home invasion. The male suspect, a 24-year-old from Kalamazoo, was arrested and lodged at the Barry County Jail on charges related to the home invasion in Barry County.
