PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Portage Department of Public Safety is reporting that a home invasion suspect has been arrested as of Tuesday, February 11.
Around 9:10 a.m., officers responded to a call about a suspicious male walking behind residential houses. The call was located in the 7500 block of Curry Lane.
Upon arrival, officers located and detained the suspect, who they realized matched the description of a suspect involved in a home invasion the week prior. That incident took place on a nearby street which was captured by a Ring doorbell camera.
Police say that the suspect eventually confessed to that crime, along with other attempted residential break-ins in the area.
On Wednesday, February 12, the Kalamazoo County Prosecutor’s Office issued a charge of 2nd Degree Home Invasion against the suspect, who has been identified as 18-year old Quailin Knox of Portage.
Knox is now being held on a $1,000 bond.
