KDPS arrest man breaking into Hunter’s Ridge apartment, track on foot

Kalamazoo Public Safety officers arrested a man Wednesday night for home invasion.

KDPS officers were patrolling the area of Hunter’s Ridge Apartments, 4130 West Michigan Ave., when they spotted a man lurking near the back of an apartment. When authorities approached the suspect, he fled on food.
