GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Police say a suspect intentionally crashed into three undercover police vehicles today as officers executed a search warrant at a Northwest Side Grand Rapids home.
The Metropolitan Enforcement Team was searching for "controlled substances" at 734 Fremont Ave. NW. As they went to enter the home, two suspects emerged and got into a GMC Envoy in an attempt to escape, authorities said.
Two unmarked police vehicles were ready to pursue the suspect, but the car reversed gear and intentionally crashed into one of the cars, which resulted in a chain-reaction crash -- damaging another unmarked police vehicle and side swiping an unmarked police van.
The suspects continued to flee, but ran into an embankment in their SUV. Both fled, and one was caught, but the other remained on the loose. A police officer said that law enforcement has a "pretty good idea" of who the remaining suspect is.
Names and descriptions of the suspects were not released.
State Police Lt. Chris McIntire said marijuana and cocaine were a "good guess" of what the investigative team was looking for.
He would not specify how long officers had pursued this investigation or what tipped them off to the whereabouts of the suspects.
Another officer said a gun was found in the suspect's SUV.
Two officers received minor injuries, McIntire said, but they will be fine.
The suspects will receive charges related to the obtained narcotics and felonious assault with a deadly weapon due to the intentional crash of the SUV into the undercover police vehicles.
"I heard a crash, and the two guys in the Envoy were gone," said Justin Fabela, who lives in the neighborhood. "The cops came out of nowhere. They did a good job -- bad guys and guns are off the street."
He said he had no idea the house was home to illegal activities. He had waved hello several times to people he had seen at the home.
"Last I knew, two best friends lived there," Fabela said.
