OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On May 25, 2024, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Michigan State Police troopers responded to reports of a man acting erratically at a residence in the 2000 block of Skeels Road in Otto Township, Oceana County. Upon arrival, troopers observed 44-year-old Jonathan David Jurecki walking near the intersection of Skeels Road and Nichols Road. Upon noticing the officers, Jurecki fled into a wooded area and re-emerged carrying a device with visible wires, claiming it was a bomb and threatening to "kill everybody." Troopers established a perimeter, evacuated nearby residents, and requested assistance from the MSP Grand Rapids Post, MSP Bomb Squad, and the Emergency Support Team (EST). Negotiators engaged with Jurecki for several hours in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. During the standoff, Jurecki made movements perceived as a threat, prompting an EST member to discharge a rifle, fatally wounding him. Subsequent examination by the MSP Bomb Squad determined that the device was a hoax and did not contain any explosive materials.
