PORTAGE, Mich. — Portage officers apprehended a suspect in Portage with help from a drone last month.
The Portage Department of Public Safety (PDPS) says a man was wanted for weapons- and drug-related offenses. They executed a traffic stop near Lovers Lane and Kilgore Road on Feb. 7, but the suspect ran away.
We’re told officers refrained from chasing the man for safety reasons, opting to use a drone instead. With it, they were able to locate the suspect hiding in the bushes along Bicentennial Trail.
PDPS says the man was arrested without further incident.
