Man Arrested In Grocery Store

By Patrick Sullivan | Dec. 10, 2019

A man who struggled with Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies as they tried to arrest him inside a grocery store faces charges of resisting and obstructing police.

The suspect, Benjamin John Dahlstrom, a 31-year-old Traverse City man, was acting strangely and approaching other customers at the Tom’s store in Interlochen when staff called police to ask that he be removed.

When deputies arrived, they recognized Dahlstrom and knew that he had a warrant out for his arrest; when they went to arrest him inside the store, he ran, and the deputies caught him. There was a struggle and all three fell into a rack of merchandise, says Capt. Randy Fewless.

Dahlstrom was tased, taken to Munson Medical Center to be checked out as a precaution, and was taken to jail. The incident happened Friday at 4:35pm.
