Gaylord man faces charges of attempted home invasion, resisting arrest
OTSEGO COUNTY — On March 15 at approximately 3 a.m., troopers from the Michigan State Police Gaylord Post and deputies from the Otsego County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence in Bagley Township to investigate an alleged personal protection order (PPO) violation.
A preliminary investigation revealed that 35-year-old James Dash of Gaylord allegedly drove to a residence in Bagley Township and knocked on the door. When there was no answer, he attempted to enter the home by kicking the front door.
Upon arrival, troopers learned Dash fled the scene and observed footprints in the snow leading into the woods. Troopers located Dash hiding behind a tree. Troopers and deputies approached Dash and attempted to place him under arrest. After a brief struggle, they were able to take him into custody.
Dash was lodged at the Otsego County Jail and arraigned on Monday in the 87-A District Court in Otsego County on one count of attempted home invasion third degree, one count of police officer-assault/resist/obstruct, and one count of malicious destruction of building ($200 or more less than $1,000). His bond was set at 10% of $25,000 cash or surety. His next court appearance is set for March 27.
