MIDLAND COUNTY (WJRT) (1/31/2020) - A standoff brought a large police presence and blocked roads in Coleman after a Michigan State Police trooper attempted to serve an arrest warrant.

Police say the trooper went to a residence on Saginaw Road between 7th and Mary streets in Coleman to speak with a suspect about an ongoing investigation.

The suspect threatened the trooper with a knife and then went back into the residence, according to Michigan State Police.

Police were blocking Saginaw Road while authorities secure the area and attempt to coax the suspect outside. The Michigan State Police Emergency Support Team joined the response Friday evening.
