HART, Mich. (WOOD) — The driver accused of crashing into an Oceana County store is the same man who rammed into a Coast Guard station two years ago, a police source tells 24 Hour News 8.
The crash happened Wednesday afternoon at the Shopko Hometown store, located at 2278 Comfort Drive in Hart, south of Ludington, police said.
A police source told 24 Hour News 8 that the alleged driver is Matthew Krueger. Oceana County court records show he is currently in custody and scheduled to be arraigned Thursday afternoon.
Krueger allegedly crashed into the store after he was denied a prescription refill at the pharmacy, according to the police source.
The Hart Police Department said that no one was injured.
In 2015, Krueger was found not guilty by reason of insanity for setting fire to a hobby barn in Oceana County, which was owned by his family, on Feb. 8. Later that morning, he called in a bomb threat to the Coast Guard station in Grand Haven, rammed the gate and assaulted a service member.
As part of the pleas, Krueger was sent to a mental health facility. 24 Hour News 8 is working to determine when he was discharged from the facility.
