Matthew ok after accident

A 27-year-old Three Rivers man was treated and released following a one-car accident around 11:30 p.m. Monday.

According to the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department, Michael Matthew was driving east on M-60, near Marlene Drive, when he lost control of the vehicle.

Matthew was transported to Three Rivers Health.

A department media release does not indicate the reason Matthew’s vehicle left the road, nor did it state if citations were issued. He was wearing a seatbelt and alcohol was not a factor in the incident, investigators said.

Police called for domestic situation

The Three Rivers Police Department was called over the weekend to a residence in the 700 block of Portage Avenue regarding a domestic situation.

Three Rivers officials said a 911 call was received shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday regarding a distraught subject who potentially posed a threat to himself and others.

Officers coaxed the man out of his house and he told police he was upset over an argument with his family earlier in the evening. Officers eventually convinced him to seek a medical evaluation at Three Rivers Health.

Nobody was hurt during the incident.

Assistance was provided by the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department, the Three Rivers Fire Department and Michigan State Police.

Labrador saves boy

A black Labrador is credited with saving a 14-month-old boy from drowning Sunday in Marcellus.

According to the Cass County Sheriff’s Department, the young man slipped away from his mother as the two were headed to their garage and he wound up in the family pool. As soon as the mother realized her son was no longer with her, she went to the pool and saw the family dog had pulled the boy from the water.

A police report states the boy was blue in the face and unconscious.

As the woman drove the boy to the Marcellus Fire Department, he regained consciousness. Deputies said the boy was checked over and found to be in good condition.

He was then treated at Three Rivers Health and released.

Alcohol maybe factor in accident

Alcohol is believed to be a factor in a car accident that took place around 5 a.m. Saturday in Constantine.

The St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department said Jeremy Zell, 31, of Elkhart, Ind., was arrested after he failed to stop at the three-way intersection of North Broad Street and North Washington Street.

He was taken to Three Rivers Health and treated for injuries. A department news release did no state whether Zell was taken into custody.
