KENT COUNTY, Mich. — A teenager was arrested after a man was stabbed and a vehicle stolen Sunday morning in Tyrone Township.
At 9 a.m. Sunday, the Kent County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a stabbing at 14101 Sparta Ave. NW. Upon arriving at the scene, deputies learned that a 30-year-old Tyrone Township man had been stabbed in the stomach at a nearby address.
They discovered that the suspect, a 19-year-old Tyrone Township man, had stolen a red Jeep close to the scene.
At 9:30 a.m. Sunday, deputies responded to North Division Avenue near Solon Street where three people were holding down a man who had been acting erratically near a red Jeep. The deputies took the 19-year-old suspect into custody.
Deputies said the victim and suspect knew each other and that drugs appeared to be a factor in the incident.
The victim was taken to an area hospital where he was listed in stable condition later Sunday.
