ROCKFORD, Mich. —
The Kent County Sheriff's Department arrested a man who was armed with a gun and barricaded himself in a house that he was previously evicted from, deputies said.
The Grand Rapids Police Department was assisting the sheriff's department with surrounding the house on Deer Trail NE and diverting traffic from the area since 12:30 p.m Friday.
They made the arrest around 5 p.m., but until then, the public was asked to avoid the area, and residents near the area were asked to stay inside.
The court officer that handled the foreclosing called the sheriff's department to come to the house with them when they learned the previous homeowner was still staying there.
