A 26-year-old wanted felon out of Jackson County, who committed five home invasions and stole two vehicles, rolled one of those vehicles while being pursued by officers on M-222 east of Allegan around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Prior to the crash, Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Department was being assisted by the Michigan State Police in trying to locate the felon for assault with intent, unlawful imprisonment and carjacking.

The suspect was believed to be in the Comstock area and spotted by officers. He attempted to flee, broke into three homes on Savannah Avenue in Comstock Township, carjacked a vehicle and left the area.

A short time later, the suspect conducted a home invasion in Ross Township on 44th Street where he took another vehicle, leaving the previously stolen vehicle in the driveway.

The suspect then committed a fifth home invasion on East Gull Lake Drive before being spotted by a DNR officer in Allegan County driving the stolen vehicle.

The suspect fled, leading the officers in a pursuit and eventually crashing. The suspect was then taken into custody in Allegan County.

There were no reported injuries in the home invasions.
