On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 06:11pm, ADPS responded to the 200 Block of S. Dalrymple St. in Albion due to a potential mental health crisis involving a man firing a gun. Upon arrival, ADPS Officers could hear a gunshot and were able to take a fifty-three-year-old Albion man into protective custody.
Based on the officer’s investigation into this incident and several other similar incidents over the course of a two-week period involving the same male subject, ADPS executed a search warrant at his residence. Several rounds of ammunition and one rifle were located inside the home, which the male is prohibited from possessing. ADPS Officer’s also located numerous bullet holes in the walls and windows of the residence. Based on the Officer’s investigation, it is believed the male subject has been experiencing hallucinations and is reacting to them by discharging a firearm inside the home.
While ADPS was conducting the search of the home, a fifty-four-year-old female relative from Albion arrived on scene and began interfering with the Officer’s investigation. Officers on scene attempted to redirect the female and then detain her based on her actions, however she resisted Officer’s directives and assaulted one Officer by biting him on his hand and arm.
The female suspect was lodged at the Calhoun County Jail on one count of Resisting and Obstructing and one count of Resisting and Obstructing Causing Injury. The male subject was petitioned at a hospital for mental health treatment and charges will be sought against him for Reckless Discharge of a Firearm and Possession of a Weapon by a Prohibited Person.
