MANISTEE COUNTY — A Michigan State Police K-9 unit helped troopers track down a hit-and-run suspect Friday afternoon in Manistee County.
State police say they were called to a crash involving a car and a bicyclist on Kurick Road near Dzuibanek Road in Springdale Township around 4 p.m. Friday.
They say the driver from Benzonia hit a bicyclist and then ran from the scene.
Troopers spoke to a Traverse City woman who claimed to be the driver, but she later admitted she was a passenger in the car, they said.
State police also found meth and a stun gun in the car.
A K-9 team was called in to help track the driver through the woods, and she was eventually arrested and taken to the Manistee County jail, deputies said.
The bicyclist, a 73-year-old woman from Thompsonville, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
