Preliminary Press Release 5/25/2026:

This morning, the Emmet County Sheriff Office along with several assisting agencies had a large presence in the Fort Defiance State Park for an investigation. During our investigation, out of an abundance of caution, we had an exterior perimeter set up around and just to the north of the park. We were able to deploy boots on the ground, with assistance from police K9’s and drones. During the search, we were able to locate our suspect and take him into custody without incident. This incident remains under investigation, with no safety threats for the public.

We would like thank everyone who assisted. A detailed press release will be released in the coming days.
