***Both juveniles have been found safe and reunited with their families. Prior to them being located, ADPS learned the firearm in question was located on the owner's property and was not stolen. ADPS thanks everyone for their assistance. ***

ADPS is seeking assistance with locating two missing juveniles from Albion. Fifteen-year-old, Aiden Marion, and fourteen-year-old, Arriannah Goodman, were reported missing to ADPS on Sunday, June 7th. ADPS believes both subjects are willfully together and are concerned about Arriannah’s welfare due to a medical condition that requires medication.

ADPS was also informed Aiden stole an AR-15-style rifle with at least one full magazine from his residence. It appears both Aiden and Arriannah left home with camping equipment and a large amount of food. Both of their cell phones were reportedly left behind, and they have no means of transportation.

ADPS has checked numerous wooded locations within the city utilizing a drone without any success. ADPS believes both subjects left home and intend to travel to Ohio, Indiana or Virginia and may have received a ride from an unknown person. ADPS has no knowledge of recent threatening statements or behaviors from either subject, but we encourage anyone who may have contact with them to use extreme caution due to them potentially being armed.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Aiden and Arriannah are asked to contact Detective / Sgt. William Lazarus at 517-629-7854 or Calhoun County 911 – Michigan by dialing 911 or by using their non-emergency phone number at (269) 781-0911. Silent Observer can also be utilized at 517-629-2700.

On May 18, 2026, at 07:26am, ADPS was dispatched to the 1500 Block of Dean Drive in Albion regarding a domestic assault and home invasion complaint. ADPS learned the suspect, a twenty-two-year-old man from Albion, had allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, and attempted to enter a home in this area where the victim was seeking help after being assaulted.

Thanks to a homeowner in the area, the suspect was turned away, and he retreated into his own home in the same area. At this time, ADPS made multiple attempts to get the suspect to exit his home peacefully, but he refused. ADPS then sought a search warrant, and the Calhoun County Special Response Team was called into assist. Just after a search warrant was obtained, the suspect voluntarily exited his home and was taken into custody without any further incident.

The suspect was lodged at the Calhoun County Jail for Aggravated Assault, B&E Forced Entry – Residence and Resisting and Obstructing Police.
