Police arrest suspects in drug transaction

July 24, 2013

Lansing police officers observed a drug transaction on Monday at approximately 8:30 p.m. The observed transaction led to a chase through the Lansing Community College campus and ultimately to the arraignment of two suspects. Both were arraigned in 54A District Court on multiple felony charges, according to Lansing Public Information Officer Robert Merritt.

The chase began when the suspects pulled over near Washington Avenue and Shiawassee Street and then ran on foot from their vehicle. One suspect was in possession of a handgun and attempted to enter the campus building, although he did not succeed. He was placed into custody after resisting arrest.

The police initially lost sight of the other suspect, but after assistance from the police K-9, he was located in the backyard of a residence in the 700 block of Seymour Avenue.
