HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (via WOOD TV 8) — Ottawa County dispatchers say the suspect in an assault that seriously injured a female victim is in custody, after ramming a police cruiser during a chase.

The suspect left the scene. Deputies tried to stop him near Riley Street and US-31, but he drove off, ramming a police cruiser and hitting another vehicle before crashing into a power pole at Riley Street between Woodside Drive and 136th Avenue in Holland Township, according to Vanderploeg.
