Police: Man charged in Holland gaming store break-in
Eric Cody, of Grand Rapids, turned himself in over the weekend in Muskegon County and was later taken to the Ottawa County jail, according to the Holland Department of Public Safety. Monday afternoon, he was arraigned on one count of breaking and entering a building with intent, authorities say. Bond was set at $5,000.
Police a warrant had been issued for Cody, 39, but detectives had been unable to find him.
Warrant issued after $15K in merchandise stolen from Holland gaming store
The break-in happened in November at Super Hideaway Gaming, located at the corner of Washington Avenue and W. 40th Street in Holland. The owner estimated that — primarily Magic The Gathering singles cards — had been taken.
It wasn't the only West Michigan gaming store break-in in recent months. In October, said someone smashed the front door, entered and took about $20,000 in merchandise. And earlier this month, more than $1,000 in merchandise was in Lowell, police said.
A probable cause hearing in the Super Hideaway Gaming case is set for early February.

Woman steals Pride flag from Michigan church. Now it's returned, with an apology
A Pride flag stolen from a church and ultimately returned sparked waves of support from a Michigan community. Footage shared on Facebook from St. John's Episcopal Church in Grand Haven shows a woman remove the flag from outside the church around 1 a.m. Aug. 9. She was joined by another woman, who appeared to record the incident on a phone. As the church attempted to identity the women, many people in the Grand Haven community offered to replace the stolen flag. They didn't have to. In an Aug. 12 video, Rev. Jared Cramer said the flag was returned by the father of the woman who took it. With it, there was a note with an apology and a 'generation' donation to the church. The woman's boyfriend had called Cramer and said she was drunk when she took the flag after leaving a bar, according to WZZM. 'Even if this was a prank or joke, stuff like that contributes to a culture where LGBTQ people aren't safe,' Cramer told WOOD. 'Where that's why they need the flag to know whether or not this is a safe place for them, because there are so many places particularly here in West Michigan that are unsafe for queer people.' Cramer is offering forgiveness to the woman, he said in his video, and will not be filing charges. He called upon people offering to replace the flag to support their local LGBTQIA+ group. 'I would encourage all of us, as best as we can, to try and be curious about those who with we disagree, to find ways to build relationships because no one is probably the villain we make them out to be,' the pastor said. Grand Haven is about a 35-mile drive northwest from Grand Rapids.

The pair were charged last August with second-degree murder, manslaughter and reckless driving causing death. According to court documents, on June 25, 2024, a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Oosterhouse and a Dodge Charger driven by Perez were engaged in aggressive 'road rage style driving' while traveling eastbound on Lake Michigan Drive.

Members of the victim's family addressed the court Monday prior to sentencing. During an earlier hearing, an Ottawa County deputy said both men to engaging in a road rage incident for several miles. Oosterhouse also made statements that he was responsible for Coleman's death and that he should lose his license. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
