An out-of-county man was arrested early Thursday morning after breaking into a Sanilac County business.
Sanilac County Central Dispatch received a call around 5:15 a.m. on February 8, reporting that the Rustic Tavern in Sanilac Township was being broken into. Several agencies, including the Sanilac County Sheriff Office, Sandusky Police Department, Croswell Police Department and the Sanilac County Sheriff K-9 Unit, were dispatched to the 2500 block of S. Lakeshore Road.
Upon arrival at the scene, officers established a perimeter. As the suspect was seen running from the business and into a wooded area, both a drone and the K-9 unit were sent in after the suspect. The suspect was located a short distance away, taken into custody and then transported to McKenzie Memorial Hospital and later transferred to Port Huron Mclaren Hospital for medical treatment. The suspect was identified as a 60-year-old male from Ludington, Michigan.
It is believed there was a second individual involved in this incident. The incident remains under investigation and no further information is being released at this time.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Sanilac County Detective Bureau at 810-648-8360.
