Groveland Twp. – Unusual behavior led Groveland police to conclude a barefoot wanderer is insane.
On June 27 at 3:27 p.m., troopers from the Michigan State Police Groveland post responded to a report of a barefoot 25-year-old Swartz Creek woman’dressed in leather’who scratched a car at the Dixie Highway BP station near Grange Hall Road while the owner pumped gas.
According to police reports, after the subject gave officers her first name and address, she walked away from questioning ‘calling officers and everyone at the station evil,? and audibly praying for deliverance.
The woman’s father stated she had disappeared after walking outside the family’s home, and it ‘wasn’t the first time.? A police check revealed the woman had previously been found on M-59 in Utica, missing her 2001 Pontiac, which was later discovered impounded by Detroit police. The suspect was unclear on how her car was impounded.
Groveland Fire and Rescue was toned out, as the woman was believed to be insane. Police later learned the suspect was hospitalized in Owosso.
