This morning at about 2:20 a.m. a Holland resident called 911 as she heard a subject in her home. Officers responded and began checking around the house. At one point an officer shined a light into the home and saw a male subject. The subject quickly exited the home on the opposite side, where another officer was at. The suspect was taken into custody after a short foot pursuit.
The victim reported that the suspect, who she did not know, had started to sexually assault her. He was lodged on multiple charges. His name is being withheld pending arraignment.
