Man accused of shooting BC officer in custody

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — After searching for him for more than 12 hours, authorities say the man accused of shooting a Battle Creek police officer is in custody.

Battle Creek Police Department says 30-year-old Andre Yarbrough was found at an apartment around 4:20 p.m. Saturday.

Officer Jeffrey Johnson, the officer who was shot, has substantial injuries, but he is expected to make a full recovery, Battle Creek Police Chief Jim Blocker said.

Investigators say a Silent Observer tip sent police to the apartment. A K-9 searched the apartment and found Yarbrough in a closet. He refused to come out, so the dog pulled him out, according to the BCPD.
