FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office Responds to Armed Suspect Incident in Leroy Township

At approximately 5:30 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026, deputies from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office responded to execute a search warrant and a probation violation warrant at a residence on Running Deer Ridge in Leroy Township.

The incident stemmed from a domestic situation the previous day involving 35-year-old Travis Baker and his parents. Concerns regarding Baker’s behavior and possession of fi****ms led deputies to the residence to execute the warrants related to a probation violation involving fi****ms.

During the response, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Special Response Team (SRT) deployed a drone to assess the situation. As SRT members attempted to enter the residence, shots were fired from inside the home. Numerous rounds were fired toward responding law enforcement personnel, striking specialized response vehicles belonging to both the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office and Battle Creek Police Department. Two Sheriff’s Office drones were shot down.

Although the residence is located in a rural area, the proximity of neighboring homes raised significant safety concerns due to the potential for stray gunfire. An emergency alert was issued advising residents in the immediate area to shelter in place, remain indoors, and stay away from windows and exterior walls. Residents were also provided the option to evacuate.

During the incident, an officer with the Battle Creek Police Department discharged their fi***rm from a specialized response vehicle. A fire rapidly engulfed the residence, preventing officers from immediately confirming Baker’s condition. Baker was subsequently confirmed deceased.

The immediate threat to the public was resolved Monday evening, and the shelter-in-place advisory was lifted. There is no ongoing threat to neighboring residents related to this incident.

The circumstances surrounding the officer-involved shooting and structure fire remain under investigation.

Assisting agencies included the Battle Creek Police Department, Michigan State Police, Albion Department of Public Safety, Marshall Police Department, Emmett Township Department of Public Safety, Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch Authority, and Calhoun County Probation. The response included the multi-agency Special Response Team, consisting of law enforcement personnel from departments throughout Calhoun County.

Fire response was provided by Emmett Township, Newton Township, Leroy Township, and Athens fire departments. LifeCare Ambulance also assisted with emergency medical services.

11:11 pm UPDATE: There is no longer an active threat. Please continue to avoid the area.
---
Please avoid the area of Lyman Drive and 6 Mile Road in Leroy Township due to reports of an armed suspect in the area.

Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office Responds to Home Invasion in Convis Township
On Thursday, October 22, 2026, at approximately 1:56 a.m., deputies from the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a breaking and entering in progress at the Bellevue Trailer Park, located at 23915 15 Mile Road in Convis Township.

The caller reported that a 51-year-old Bellevue man, known to the residents, had broken a front window of the home and was attempting to enter the residence.

Neighbors who heard screaming intervened and pulled the suspect from the window, preventing him from entering further. The suspect also reportedly broke a window of the victim’s vehicle before fleeing to his nearby residence.

A large kitchen knife was recovered at the scene, which investigators believe the suspect brought to the residence.

Deputies located the suspect’s residence and observed an individual moving inside. Despite repeated announcements and commands to exit the home, the suspect refused to comply. After approximately 45 minutes, deputies observed the suspect crawling on the floor inside the residence. When informed that he was under arrest, the suspect stood and approached a front window, where he began harming himself.

The suspect subsequently exited the residence and stood on the front porch but continued to disregard deputies’ commands. Deputies deployed a Taser, allowing them to safely take the suspect into custody.

The suspect received medical treatment at the scene from Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority before being transported to Bronson Battle Creek Hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

Following medical treatment, the suspect was lodged at the Calhoun County Jail on charges of Home Invasion, Damage to Property, and Obstructing Police. His identity is being withheld at this time.

Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Lieutenant Benjamin Hess at 269-781-0880. Anonymous tips may also be submitted through Silent Observer at 269-964-3888.

Calhoun County Sheriff's Office Investigating Attempted Abduction in Pennfield Township

The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating a reported attempted abduction that occurred on October 20, 2026, at approximately 10:50 a.m. near the intersection of Morgan Road and Norave Drive in Pennfield Township.

A 54-year-old Pennfield Township woman was walking her dog along Morgan Road when she was approached from behind by an unknown male wearing a black ski mask, fluorescent yellow jacket, and black gloves. The suspect reportedly grabbed the woman from behind and lifted her off the ground. Her dog intervened, attacking the suspect, who then fled into a nearby wooded area.

Deputies responded to the scene and searched the surrounding area with assistance from the Calhoun Aerial Support Team (CAST), which deployed a drone to assist in the search. Despite these efforts, deputies did not locate the suspect.

The Sheriff's Office has notified surrounding law enforcement agencies and continues to investigate the incident. Deputies will follow up with residents in the area to identify potential surveillance footage that may help identify the suspect.

With Halloween approaching, the Sheriff's Office reminds residents to remain vigilant and take precautions when walking outdoors, particularly during trick-or-treating activities. Residents are encouraged to:

Travel in groups whenever possible, particularly with children.
Stay in well-lit, familiar areas and remain aware of their surroundings.
Remind children never to approach or leave with strangers.
Report suspicious individuals, vehicles or activity to law enforcement.
Ensure children are accompanied by a trusted adult or remain with a designated group while trick-or-treating.

The Sheriff's Office encourages anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the Morgan Road and Norave Drive area, or who has surveillance footage that could assist investigators, to contact Lieutenant Ben Hess at 269-781-0880 or submit an anonymous tip to Silent Observer at 269-964-3888. Anyone who observes suspicious activity or believes they are in immediate danger should call 911.

It was a great morning partnering with fellow first responders and community partners for a morning of hands-on safety education at Gordon Elementary!

Students learned about Halloween safety, watched K9 and drone demonstrations, practiced first aid and Stop the Bleed techniques with Oaklawn, and explored fire prevention with the Marshall Fire Department’s smokehouse trailer.

We’re always grateful for opportunities to connect with young people in our community and help them build the knowledge and confidence to stay safe.

For Fire Prevention Week, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, and 911 Dispatch share two final tips:

🔋 Charge big batteries safely.
E‑bikes, scooters, and power tools should be charged outside when possible, and never in a location that blocks your exit.

✈️ Travel charging safety.
On a plane, keep chargers and devices on your tray table. Never charge them in overhead bins—and never charge e‑cigarettes or vapes onboard.
