The incident was reported to detectives and through interviews and follow ups, the Sheriff's Office was able to establish that the suspect was a wanted felon that was absconding from parole.

The suspect had multiple warrants for his arrest and detectives further learned that there was multiple wanted subjects staying at the property. In collaboration with multiple agencies to assist in executing the search warrant, such as the Newaygo County Sheriff's Office Emergency Response Team, Michigan Department of Corrections' Fugitive Recovery Unit, patrol officers from Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office Road Patrol and Corrections, Michigan State Police's K9 unit, Michigan Department of Natural Resources' Law Enforcement Division, Mecosta County Probation and Parole Office, and Meceola Central Dispatch.

The search warrant was executed at the residence in the early morning hours with the Newaygo County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team, securing the property which contained multiple structures, campers, and vehicles.
