A 30-year-old man is in the Calhoun County Jail awaiting arraignment after police say he used his three-year-old son as a shield, after a traffic stop on I-94. The man then walked toward oncoming traffic with the child, and that’s when deputies used a Taser to stop him in his tracks.
It all started around 9 pm on Sunday, when deputies from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office got a call about a possible stolen vehicle that had fled from officers in Kalamazoo County and was headed east on I-94. Deputies located the vehicle on I-94 near Verona Road near Marshall. The vehicle was smoking heavily and appeared to have serious mechanical problems.
