UPDATE: This morning at approximately 11:13 a.m. Lansing Police Department detectives were conducting a follow-up on a violent crime that occurred earlier in the week. Detectives requested assistance from 2 uniformed patrol officers in patrol cars to conduct a traffic stop on the suspect. The officers conducted a traffic stop behind an apartment complex in the 2000 block of Holmes Rd. After several minutes of speaking with the suspect outside of the vehicle, officers attempted to place him in custody, the suspect attempted to flee on foot and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, the accused disarmed a detective and discharged the firearm striking 2 police officers. One of the officers returned gunfire striking the accused. Officers immediately performed life-saving measures on the accused prior to him being transported to a local hospital. The two detectives, the two patrol officers, and the accused sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect is a 28-year-old male and is in custody.

ADVISORY: An officer-involved shooting has taken place near the area of Holmes Rd and Simken Dr in Lansing. Two officers have been shot. The suspect is in custody and was also shot. PLEASE AVOID THE AREA. PIO is on scene.

Last Monday, our Deputy Lonnie Chapman jumped into action to save the lives of two people in a burning vehicle.

While on patrol, Deputy Chapman saw a truck speeding and turned around to pull the vehicle over, but found that the truck had crashed into a tree and had started on fire with a driver and passenger inside. Deputy Chapman was able to help the passenger out without issue, but found that the driver's foot was stuck under the dash.

Acting quickly, Deputy Chapman got into the truck and was able to free the driver's foot before dragging him to safety. At that point, EMS and fire first responders were on the scene to transport the driver to the University of Michigan Hospital with a broken ankle and leg injuries.

The truck fire burned so intensely that the license plate completely melted. "There's no question that Deputy Chapman saved the driver's life," said Sheriff Murphy. "We're proud that he's part of our team."

Thank you, Deputy Chapman for your bravery!

In memory of our fallen trooper who made the ultimate sacrifice on this day in 2003:

Tpr. Kevin M. Marshall
November 14, 1969 - July 7, 2003

Trooper Kevin M. Marshall died as a result of gunshot wounds he received while making a tactical entry into a residence of a barricaded gunman. This incident occurred near the city of Fremont in Newaygo County on Monday, July 7, 2003, at approximately 4 p.m.

During the evening hours of July 6, 2003, officers from the Hesperia Police Department and the Newaygo County Sheriff’s Department attempted to serve a felony warrant for accosting children for immoral purposes on 40-year-old Scott Allen Woodring, of Fremont, Michigan. Woodring then barricaded himself in his home. The Michigan State Police Emergency Support Team was requested and responded to the scene.

When Emergency Support team members were attempting to provide communication equipment, the suspect fired two shots at the officers. After 14 hours of negotiations failed, a State Police Emergency Support entry team made a tactical entry into the residence. Trooper Marshall was the lead officer in this team, which was met with gunfire as entry was made. Multiple .223-rifle rounds struck the ballistic shield he was carrying, with four rounds striking Trooper Marshall. Two other members of the team were also struck. One received a non-life threatening injury and the other was unhurt, having been struck in the helmet.

Trooper Marshall was transported to Ge**er Hospital in Fremont before being airlifted to Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids, where he died during surgery.

Although the house was surrounded by law enforcement officers, the suspect was able to escape undetected after the shooting. A cache of weapons and survival gear were found in the rubble of his house, which caught fire and burned during the standoff. A massive manhunt ensued and a first degree warrant for murder was issued for Scott Allen Woodring by the Newaygo County Prosecutor.

On Sunday, July 13, 2003, the Michigan State Police received a tip that Woodring was in the area of Maple Island (M-120) and 64th Street in Newaygo County. Eight members of the State Police Emergency Support Team were assembled and responded to that location. They located the suspect in a vehicle behind a house. Emergency Support Team members ordered Woodring to remain in the vehicle.

Despite these orders, Woodring exited the vehicle armed with an assault rifle and turned toward the officers. Woodring was subsequently shot by Emergency Support Team members. He was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of his wounds.

Trooper Marshall, a native of Sterling Heights, was a member of the 111th Michigan State Police Recruit School and an eight-year veteran of the department. He enlisted with the department on January 15, 1995, and upon completion of recruit training, was assigned to the Newaygo Post. He joined the department’s Emergency Support Team in 2002.

Trooper Marshall was posthumously awarded the Michigan State Police Medal of Valor for his actions in this incident. Trooper Marshall was earlier presented with the Michigan State Police Bravery Award in May 2003 for his courageous actions in subduing a suicidal woman who was attempting to stab both herself and her boyfriend.

Trooper Marshall was a graduate of Wayne State University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. Trooper Marshall is survived by his wife, Angela, and two children.

Trooper Kevin M. Marshall is the 49th Michigan State Police officer to die in the line of duty.

Prayers to our brothers and sisters at the Lapeer County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff McKenna’s Update on condition of our Deputies and family members:

I wanted to personally reach out to all of you on today's events. Most importantly, both of our Deputies are in stable condition at this time. One Deputy was shot multiple times and was taken by helicopter to Hurley Hospital and is currently in stable condition. Our second Deputy was not shot but is also admitted to the hospital but only for observation at this time. Since our Deputies were involved in this incident, we follow our protocol and have an outside agency come in to investigate, to take the emotion out of it and have it investigated thoroughly. At our request, the Michigan State Police arrived on scene and the investigation has been turned over to them. For this reason, I will not be putting out any details about the investigation, so that they can do their investigation from a neutral view. We will attach their press release about todays incident also and I thank them for their assistance.
Lastly, I want to personally thank all Law Enforcement, 911 Dispatch, EMS and Fire for all of their help today. It is always a horrible day when you hear radio traffic of an Officer Down, but to see how everyone comes together to help makes me proud to work in this County. I also want to thank the great community that we live in. Myself and this entire Sheriffs Office have received hundreds of calls from citizens and businesses in Lapeer County with prayers and offering of help to the injured Deputies and our men and women in uniform. I can not put into words how much we appreciate each and every one of you for kind words and thoughts in such a tough time. You have probably heard me say this many times, but I thank God every day to live and work in this County. When we say “Thank You” we mean that from the bottom of our hearts!!

Sincerely,

Sheriff McKenna

Outstanding job by Deputy Marino. Proud to have him as a member!

Today, we share with you the heroic actions of Deputy Ray Marino and thank him for his unwavering dedication to the safety of our residents.

On the morning of January 29, 2022, Central Dispatch started to receive calls of a building that was on fire on Highland Road. Deputy Marino was dispatched to the address where he began to evacuate the building’s residents as the fire and smoke spread quickly.

After being advised that a resident was still in the building on the east side, Deputy Marino rushed back into the building. Even though there was heavy smoke coming out of the door on the east side, reducing visibility to near zero, he quickly made his way inside and reappeared shortly assisting the resident out of the danger.

Once out of the building, Brian Anderson, Deputy Chief of the Howell Area Fire Department (HAFD,) and past member of the HAFD, Anthony Riccio, assisted Deputy Marino in carrying the resident to safety, where he was treated by paramedics and transported to the University of Michigan hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.

There is no question that Deputy Marino’s selfless actions saved the life of one of our residents. The instinct to place his own life in jeopardy for the sake of a stranger highlights his dedication to the protection of our community. As HAFD’s Brian Anderson said it best, “To have a man as dedicated and to do what he did is an honor and we as a community are very grateful to have him serve our County.” Thank you for your service, Deputy Marino!
