Woman Found After Jumping In River To Flee Police

A Deerfield woman faces charges of resisting and obstructing a police officer after law enforcement and firefighters searched Ellis Park, Bachmayer Park and the banks of the River Raisin for her early Tuesday morning.

At about midnight, police found the woman slumped over in an older model Ford Escort parked at Ellis Park. The Blissfield police officer noticed a can of beer with her in the vehicle and believed her to be intoxicated. At some point, the woman fled and jumped in the River Raisin. Officer Duvall jumped into the river, fearing for her safety, but she got away. Back up from the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Department arrived. An Adrian Police officer with a K-9 unit also arrived to assist with the search. Nine members of the Blissfield Fire Department arrived. Three firefighters navigated the boat up and down the River Raisin in search of the woman.

At about 1 a.m., Blissfield firefighter Mike Alcock spotted the woman hiding in brush alongside the east bank of the river, about 75 yards south of the footbridge.

The woman was arrested and lodged at the Lenawee County Jail and her car was towed by Mac’s.

Cabrini Tops Royals In Regional Semfinal

The Blissfield varsity baseball team saw its season come to an end at Bishop Foley High School in Madison Heights today. The Royals lost to Allen Park Cabrini 7-2 in the regional semifinal. Exactly one week after the Blissfield bats hit everything in sight while posting two 10-run mercy rule wins in the district, the Royals managed just four hits against Cabrini.

“Their pitcher had a lot to do with it,” said head coach Larry Tuttle, of Cabrini starter Trevor Hicks. ‘He kept us off-balance with that slider that he threw.”

Devin Suiter took the loss, allowing two runs in three innings of work on three hits, two walks and a hit batter. Eric Schmidt allowed five runs in four innings of relief.
