Lenawee County, MI – A woman was arrested after a car chase that was initiated in Lenawee County Friday evening.
The Monroe Post of the Michigan State Police reports that a trooper was driving on M-50, near Downing Highway in a fully marked patrol car, when a 34-year-old female began tailgating the police vehicle.
The post says that the woman passed the trooper, applied her brakes, and intentionally caused a collision before attempting to flee the scene.
A pursuit was initiated on the female that led into Monroe County. Tire deflation devices were deployed effectively by a Dundee Police Officer and a Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputy. The female pulled over and was taken into custody without further incident once all the vehicle’s tires had been deflated. She was lodged at the Lenawee County Jail on multiple charges.
The vehicle driven by the suspect had been reported stolen earlier that same day, and the theft is being investigated by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
