On Friday, May 3 at 12:44 A.M., deputies from the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police troopers were patrolling the apartments in Big Rapids Township on 14 Mile Road, when three gunshots were heard in one of the complexes.

Deputies were able to locate the person responsible for firing the shots, a 55-year-old male from Auburn, Michigan. The male admitted to shooting the gun in the air due to being frustrated with a verbal disagreement that had taken place.

The male was cooperative with the deputies and troopers and turned the handgun over to law enforcement. He was subsequently arrested for reckless discharge of a firearm and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
