ALBION TWP., Mich. — The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office says deputies rescued a 36-year-old man from a lake after a traffic stop turned into a foot chase Saturday.
The incident happened Saturday afternoon around 4 p.m. Deputies say they stopped a car they thought to be suspicious on J Drive South in Albion Township. That's when the suspect got out of the car and ran off.
Deputies say the man had multiple felony warrants out from other counties. They used a K9 to find the suspect.
The man was found in a nearby lake in chest-high water but refused to get out.
Homer Township Firefighters were able to swim to the suspect and assisted Marshall Firefighters in getting the individual out of the water. Deputies used a drone for monitoring.
The suspect was taken to the hospital to get treated for hypothermia.
The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office is seeking charges against the man of resisting and obstructing arrest on multiple officers.
