STURGIS, MI (WTVB) – A 34-year-old Sturgis man wound up in the gutter Friday night as he was arrested for allegedly trying to steal a tip jar from the bar at the Sturgis Bowl.
A pair of nearby Sturgis Police Officers heard a commotion and the sound of breaking glass coming from the bowling alley at about 9:00 p.m.
They then saw two employees chasing the suspect. The officers jumped in their squad car and intercepted the fleeing suspect and after a brief tussle, subdued him.
The suspect tried to kick out the back window in the patrol car on the way to the Saint Joseph County Jail which will likely add to the charges he will face on Monday.
