Troopers say they attempted a traffic stop of the suspect as he was driving a 2017 Chrysler 200. The 34-year-old failed to stop for the troopers that were initiating the traffic stop.
With the failed traffic stop, the situation eventually escalated into a vehicle pursuit. During the pursuit, the suspect got out of the car he was driving and started to run from Michigan State Police on foot.
“Koma,” which is MSP’s K-9 unit, was sent to track the suspect. The suspect was eventually traced back to an address in the City of Wayne.
The 34-year-old suspect was found hiding under a lawn chair at a home near Howe Road and Annapolis Street and was immediately taken into custody.
