On Monday, Frankfort Police Department Detectives received a tip from Crime Stoppers that a wanted person had made comments to commit “suicide by cop” if stopped on a warrant. A surveillance team located the individual Tuesday at approximately 1 P.M. A traffic stop was conducted, and the driver initially stopped. He then fled the scene on a slow-moving pursuit out of the city. The suspect vehicle ran out of gas on County Rd 200 S where a standoff occurred. Members of the Crisis Negotiation Team were on scene and negotiated for approximately three and a half hours. Clinton County SWAT team was activated and responded during this same period. Charges will be reviewed by the Clinton County Prosecutor’s Office. For now, 33-year-old Michael Ray was taken into and is facing numerous charges.
