- Investigators say the suspect is a 48-year-old woman who remains at large, and authorities have not released her name pending arrest or arraignment.
- Buena Vista Township police requested felonious assault charges from the Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office, and a warrant has been issued for the suspect’s arrest.
