ALLEGAN COUNTY, Mich. — A road is back open and neighbors are finally allowed back in their homes after a barricaded suspect situation ended in Dorr, the Allegan County Sheriff's Office says.
The first call came in just before 7 p.m. Tuesday in the area of 20th Street and 142nd Avenue. Police learned a man let two other men into his home, saying they were repossessing his tractor. He says those men used a gun to take him hostage.
The man says these suspects took him upstairs and fired multiple rounds inside the home.
When police arrived, they did not find any evidence of the two suspects, but there was evidence that rounds were fired inside the home, Allegan County Lieutenant John Paul Damveld said.
Damveld says police are considering the situation as a mental health issue. The man who made the claim is receiving assistance.
The roads reopened two hours later, around 9:40 p.m.
