LAPEER COUNTY -- They say he beat up two people with a fire arm, now sheriff deputies say he's under arrest.

Police say 49-year-old Alan Miller surrendered Saturday afternoon.

"We haven't heard much through the rumor mill, except for all the neighbors reporting and the friends we have in the police department," said Makedonsky.

Don Makedonsky was one of many in Attica Township who stayed in their homes as the search continued for suspect Alan John Miller.

The Lapeer Co. Sheriff’s Department tells NBC25 News, Miller was on the run from the law after he assaulted his girlfriend and someone else with a fire arm around 2 a.m. on Friday.

"We did find around 17 bullet holes in his girlfriend's car, he stroke her with a shot-gun, he had just some serious felony warrants outstanding against him," said Sheriff Ron Kalanquin.

Miller went on the run, managing to stay under police radar.

The Lapeer Co. Sheriff’s Department joined forces with the Oakland Co. Sheriff's Department and issued an area wide man hunt.

"Oakland Co. Sheriff Bouchard is very gracious, we're a real community, we don't have those resources, so he allowed his resources to come up today to help us," Kalanquin said.

Police say Miller is known to be a dangerous man.

"I think with his drug history like any animal, when they're being pursued, sometimes they do things that are not too rational," said Kalanquin.

After 36 hours of searching, the suspect surrendered without incident.

He is now in the Lapeer Co. jail.

 


A warning to Lapeer County Residents to stay in their homes Friday night with reports of an armed suspect in the area.

Lapeer County Sheriff's Deputies are looking for 58 year old Alan Miller in Attica Township.

NBC25 is told he is armed and dangerous.

Sheriff Ron Kalanquin says Miller drove his car across Elk Lake and got stuck.

Authorities thought they heard gunshots later near the area.

Sheriff Kalanquin says it all started around 10:00 pm Thursday night when authorities received a call of domestic abuse.

We're told his girlfriend was beaten with the back end of a gun.

Miller was last seen wearing an olive colored parka, carrying a shotgun and 22 calibur rifle.

If you have any information, you're asked to call the Lapeer county Sheriff's Department.
