A Middleville man was arrested Monday by Michigan State Police from the Wayland post after being shot at the Thornapple Valley Church parking lot in Barry County.

Authorities said the 36-year-old man brandished what later was determined to be an Airsoft pistol and refused to drop it after repeated commands from police. He is still hospitalized at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo with non-life threatening injuries, but will be lodged on the four felony warrants once he is released

The Barry County Prosecutor’s Office and Sixth District Investigative Response Team continue to investigate the incident.

Troopers said they had received information that the suspect, who was wanted on four felony warrants, was in the parking lot of the Thornapple Valley Church at approximately 6:30 p.m. Monday. When the trooper drove into the parking lot, the suspect attempted to leave in his vehicle. The trooper blocked the suspect vehicle with his patrol car at which time the suspect exited his vehicle and displayed a pistol.
