| Loaded weapons and nearly 300 rounds of ammunition were discovered during the arrest of a stalking suspect in Romulus last week. |
Officers were dispatched to the area of Harrison and Eureka Road in the city following the report of the vehicle which was parked near the home of a stalking victim. Police said the victim feared the man had violated the current personal protection order issued against him.
When Romulus officers arrived on the scene which was a short distance from the stalking victim's home, the man jumped from the vehicle and refused to obey officers' commands. He physically resisted officers at the scene before being subdued and arrested, according to police reports.
Police discovered the man also had an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction and when searching his vehicle found two loaded, uncased weapons along with almost 300 rounds of ammunition. One weapon was on the passenger seat of the vehicle and the other easily accessible behind the passenger seat, according to police reports of the incident.
The suspect, who had not been arraigned at press time, was remanded by Romulus police to the Wayne County Jail. He has been charged with two counts of carrying a concealed weapon, two counts of resisting/obstructing officers and one count of aggravated stalking.
Police praised the actions of the officers and said it “doesn't take much imagination to know that this story could have ended very differently” in a post on the Romulus Police Facebook page.
