HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — An emergency alert sent out to Holland area residents Sunday afternoon left many confused.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office sent an alert asking residents to shelter in place as a police operation got underway. There was little information beyond that.
“This was an investigation that we had undertaken, and this involves the investigation of the fatal hit and run crash that happen on 136th Avenue,” Capt. Mark Bennett explained Monday.
Bennett says they were looking for the last suspect in a hit-and-run incident that killed a Zeeland mother of two.
To avoid putting any neighbors at risk, they sent the alert. The sheriff’s office says there was no information that residents were in imminent danger, but they wanted to be cautious because the suspect has fled before and has ties to gangs.
