An Imlay City man was arrested Saturday morning after firing a shotgun multiple times in his backyard during a mental health crisis. Around 10:30 neighbors called 911 after some rounds struck nearby properties. Police arrived quickly, with one officer trying to talk down the man, who appeared intoxicated and fired more rounds before his gun jammed. The man was eventually arrested after damaging police vehicles. He faces charges, including reckless discharge of a firearm and destruction of property.
