SLT resident confronted by man breaking into home

Police said a Spring Lake Township homeowner woke up early Friday to find a stranger inside his home. Lt. Steve Kempker of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department said the incident occurred at about 5:45 a.m. on View Drive. The homeowner fled through an open window and ran to a neighbor's house, where police were called. Kempker said an investigation showed that the suspect entered the home by pushing through a screen in an open window. A police K-9 unit was called to track the suspect, but could not locate him.
