“The actions of the defendant, who allegedly assaulted two women and endangered public safety by fleeing from law enforcement and assaulting officers in the process, will not go unpunished,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido. “We will vigorously pursue the full extent of the law to hold accountable those who show such blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of others.”
