Railroaders find suspect in Mt. Pleasant

Unread post by Super Chief »

Reported by Mlive this morning. A GLC crew going thru the north side of Mt. Pleasant came upon the suspect who shot his parents at CMU a little after midnight. Authorities were notified and he was apprehended on the north side of town. All the police and helicopters there yesterday and a train crew spots him in the dark. Wow.

His mustard/yellow jeans made him hard to spot...evidently.

I guess to finally put it to rest, WWMT is reporting (based on the official timeline of events published by the CMU Director of Communications) that a passing train crew saw the suspect from the train and called it in.

Nicely done, GLC.
