Drugs were seized and stolen personal items were returned to the victim after Elk Valley RCMP arrested a man following the theft of a purse at a boat launch in Morrissey last week.
Officials from the sheriff s office said the initial investigation shows the 56-year-old driver was traveling westbound, lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree.
On Monday, February 8th at 11:37 am, Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call of an accidental gun shot victim in the 11000 block of Morrissey Road in Grass Lake Township, Sheriff Gary Schuette announced in a press release.
The victim, a 33 year old man from Summit Township was concealed carrying his pistol when it got caught on a piece of machinery and discharged the round striking his leg. The victim was then transported to Henry Ford Allegiance Health where he was treated for non life threatening injuries.
Responding officers found the pistol was registered to the victim, and alcohol did not play a factor in this incident. The investigation has been handed off to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office for official review.
