WYOMING, Mich. — The man accused of injuring a deputy in Wyoming earlier this week has been charged.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) says they and the Metro Pattern Crimes Task Force (MPACT) tried to arrest a 34-year-old Grand Rapids man near Eastern Avenue and 32nd Street when his car hit parked vehicles nearby.

We’re told one of the parked vehicles hit a deputy on scene. The deputy was hospitalized and later released.

The suspect was tracked down at a Gaines Township apartment along with two sidearms, a Glock switch and marijuana, deputies say.
