On March 27, 2024 at approximately 2:35 p.m., Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office Deputies with the Pennfield Division were dispatched to the Huntington Bank on NE Capital Ave for an assault. Employees called 911 when a male began assaulting a female inside. Upon arrival, deputies located an off-duty Calhoun County Sheriff's Office Deputy physically retraining the suspect, a 33-year-old Battle Creek man. Responding deputies took him into custody and the female victim was treated for her injuries sustained during the incident. The male sustained injuries as well and was transported to the hospital for treatment. Charges will be sought on the male for domestic assault.
The off-duty deputy's quick response to the violence kept the victim’s injuries from being any more severe and was key to ensuring the suspect was identified and taken into custody.
Deputies were assisted by LifeCare Ambulance and the Pennfield Fire Department.
