Home invasion suspect arrested after apparently running into a tree and knocking himself out

A man is in custody after police say he broke into a residence in Negaunee Township, Michigan, early on Saturday morning.

Just after 1:00am, troopers from the Michigan State Police Negaunee Post were dispatched to a reported home invasion. The homeowner heard someone banging on their front door.



When they went to investigate the noise, the homeowner found a man inside the entryway of the home. The suspect fled into the woods on foot after the homeowner confronted him. A State Police K-9 was called in to help find the suspect.

The K-9 found the suspect lying on the ground unconscious. Authorities believe the man ran into a tree, knocking himself out. Troopers arrested the man for home invasion. His name will not be released until after he’s arraigned in Marquette County District Court.
