Firearm seized during traffic stop

January 1, 2020 by Kalamazoo Public Safety

On January 1, 2020, at 12:36a.m., the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety conducted a traffic stop in the 1300 Block of Fox Ridge Dr while investigating a shots fired complaint. As the vehicle stopped, the front seat passenger immediately fled on foot from the vehicle and into a nearby building dropping a loaded magazine from a handgun.


Officers chased the suspect and located him inside the building, taking him into custody without incident. The firearm had been discarded inside the building by the suspect and was located by officers.


As a result of this investigation, a 21 year old Kalamazoo resident was arrested on multiple felony charges.


Anyone having information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety at 337-8994 or Silent Observer at 343-2100
