Intruder Claimed Being Chased By Killers

Sebewa Township – Ionia County, MI: On January 1, 2019 at 10:38pm, Ionia County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the 4000 block of East Musgrove Hwy in Sebewa Township on a reported burglary in progress.

The original dispatch indicated that an intruder had forced his way into the home and had claimed to the startled homeowners that he was being chased by someone else who was trying to kill him.

The homeowner of the residence, once arming himself with a firearm, went outside with the man but couldn’t locate anyone or any evidence that anyone else was outside or had been chasing the intruder.

When the parties re-entered the home a short time later, the man reportedly began acting erratically, became very angry with the homeowner and assaulted him.

The homeowner then discharged his firearm at the intruder, striking and killing the man prior to Ionia County Sheriff’s Deputies arriving on scene.

The decedent is identified as Justin Eddy, 40, of Lansing MI. There is no known connection between Justin Eddy and the homeowners. It’s unknown why Eddy chose that particular home to enter, although drugs and alcohol are suspected factors in this case.

The homeowner has not been arrested at this time, pending Prosecutor review, and is cooperating with law enforcement.

Evidence was collected at the scene and will be processed and submitted to the Ionia County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

The Ionia County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Michigan State Police, Sunfield Fire Department, Portland Ambulance, Sparrow Medical Examiner’s Office, Lehman Funeral Homes, Ionia County Central Dispatch, and Reed/Hoppes Towing.

Investigation into this incident is ongoing. Anyone with any additional information is urged to contact the Ionia County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau at 616-527-5737.

New Year’s Eve On Detroit’s East Side

Detroit – New Year’s Eve 2019: Detroit’s east side explodes in gunfire. Follow videographer CharlieBo313 as he drives the street’s of Detroit in the early morning hours of January 1 2019.

Detroit residents have a tradition of firing of weapons into the air on New Year’s Eve. Gunfire started early and officer’s of the Detroit Police Department chased shots fired calls all evening, running from one call to the next.

City leaders have asked that ‘bells be wrung’ instead of firing bullets into the air, pretty sure that message was lost in translation somewhere along the line. In anticipation of the gunfire, Detroit emergency services announced that all DPD scout cars, fire apparatus and EMS rigs were to find shelter if not engaged on a working run. Below is that announcement from Detroit Fire’s EMS, posted last night on our twitter account.

By

RUN! It’s the Po-Po!

Detroit’s West Side: Two toddlers lead Detroit Police Officer’s from the 12th Precinct on a foot pursuit in Detroit’s west side early this morning.

At 1:38am Friday morning, a 911 caller reported two children, ages 4 and 5, loitering around the Exxon Gas Station at Appoline & W 8 Mile.

Toddlers Appeared Unarmed But Suspicious

DPD units from the 12th Precinct made the scene shortly after being dispatched and caught up with ‘Thelma & Louise Lite’ at St Martins & Meyers.

Officers attempted to make contact with the toddlers but, like toddlers everywhere, they beat-feet northbound on Meyers towards the World in Action Christian Center.

Louise, distracted by something shiny, stopped and was taken into custody.

Thelma, tired and cranky, gave up shortly afterwards.

Interviewed later, Thelma said “If Louise hadn’t mistaken a piece of aluminum foil for a tiara, we would’ve made it.”

Child Protective Services were apparently notified.
