Man Charged After Firing Shots At Grand Rapids Bar

A man was arrested and now has been charged after firing numerous gunshots outside a Grand Rapids bar early Saturday morning.

At 1:45 a.m. Saturday, the Kent County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of shots fired in the parking lot at The Muze bar and grill at 925 Four Mile Road in Grand Rapids. Upon arriving at the scene deputies learned that there had been a domestic dispute inside the business and a man had been escorted out of the establishment by security personnel.


Once the man was outside, he pulled a handgun out of his waistband and fired numerous gunshots in an unknown direction.

The Muze's security personnel told deputies that they believed the man fled the scene on foot. A perimeter was established around the bar and a Michigan State Police canine unit located the man a short distance away in the 3900 block of Yorkland Drive NW.

Deputies believe they have recovered the handgun used in the shooting.

There were no injuries reported.

On Saturday, the Kent County Prosecutor's Office charged the man with receiving and concealing a stolen firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm while under the influence, and assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer.

The shooter's name is not being released, pending arraignment in court on Monday.

Anyone with any information about this incident is being asked to contact the the Kent County Sheriff's Department at (616) 632-6100.
