COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A suspect is expected to be arraigned Monday afternoon in Branch County District Court after he was taken into custody Sunday morning in connection with a breaking and entering at the Coldwater Golf Course.
He is expected to be formally charged with breaking and entering. The suspect was also wanted by Coldwater Police on a separate bench warrant
Michigan State Police troopers were dispatched on a breaking and entering alarm from the golf course at 5:18 a.m. Sunday morning.
Upon arrival, troopers say they found signs of forced entry into the place of business. Troopers obtained video footage of the breaking and entering which provided a description of a man entering the building.
A State Police canine unit was called in to assist with the search of the building and the tracking of suspects who may have fled from the scene. The Canine Team tracked the suspect to the area of River and Burch Roads.
While troopers were searching the area for the suspect, a witness driving through the area stopped and said to troopers a man had flagged the motorist down in the area where troopers were searching. The witness said the man asked for a ride to the Coldwater Shell Station on Western Avenue.
Troopers quickly responded to Western Avenue and U.S. 12 in Coldwater where they found a man matching the description from the breaking and entering.
The man was said to be in possession of stolen items that were taken from the golf course. He was arrested and lodged at the Branch County Jail.
