TYRONE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A teen has been taken into custody after another teen was dragged through Tyrone Township at high speeds last week.
A 17-year-old was dragged June 15 after an argument ensued between two groups over a vape pen, according to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO). The victim has since been identified as Colin Rogers, who remains hospitalized with critical injuries. At last check, Colin was in a medically-induced coma.
FOX 17 talked with Colin's dad, Clay Rogers, last Friday and again on Wednesday.
"He coughs, you know, it's, it's an unsettling feeling because it's the only thing he does, you know.," Clay said. "His eyes don't twitch. His fingers don't move. He doesn't, you know, wiggle his toes or anything like that."
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Colin's family with medical expenses.
Deputies say the driver, a 16-year-old from Kent City, was arrested and lodged at the Kent County Juvenile Detention Center.
The teen faces several charges, including assault with intent to inflict great bodily harm, reckless driving causing serious impairment, unlawful use of a vehicle, failure to stop at an injury-related accident, driving without a license.
Investigators say they are continuing to look into anyone else who may have been involved in the dragging incident.
