GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A wanted man who allegedly barricaded himself inside a Grand Rapids home has left, police say.
Police arrived at the home in the area of 700 Lafayette Avenue NE and Trowbridge shortly before 1 p.m. They were called to the area on the report of a domestic assault.
When officers arrived, they found out the suspect is wanted on an existing felony warrant for absconding from parole and a misdemeanor warrant related to an aggravated assault charge in Kent County.
Family of the man, who is 34, say he refused to come out. When officers attempted contact, he refused again.
There was no one else in the house at the time, police say. It is unknown if the man had a weapon.
Neighbors were sheltering in place and police had a perimeter around the home.
The man walked out of the home on his own accord around 6:15 p.m. Police say he was taken to a nearby hospital and will be taken into custody after treatment.
Mental health workers were on scene to assist before the situation intensified. The Kent County Sheriff's Office were there with their drone, and Michigan State Police had their special response team on-site.
There were no injuries from the domestic assault, but the suspect had some minor scrapes and cuts from exiting through a window.
The suspect is now lodged in Kent County Correctional Facility awaiting arraignment.
