Two suspects wanted on multiple warrants led police on a chase from Brighton to Fowlerville Sunday afternoon.
Brighton Police reported that an officer conducted a traffic stop in the Brighton Mall parking lot for a traffic violation.
During the stop, the officer obtained the driver’s information before returning to his patrol vehicle. At that point, the driver of the suspect vehicle fled the scene at high speed, refusing to stop.
“The pursuit continued westbound on Grand River Avenue towards Latson Road, where the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department deployed stop sticks. However, the suspect avoided them and continued westbound on I-96.
According to the BPD press release, a second deployment of stop sticks took place just past the Fowlerville exit, successfully disabling the suspect vehicle, which spun out into the median.
The driver and passenger were arrested without further incident.
The driver, who had multiple outstanding warrants, was booked into the Livingston County Jail on charges related to the pursuit. The passenger, who also had several warrants, was informed and released of their outstanding charges.
There were no injuries reported to officers or suspects.
Brighton Police Department thanked the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department for their assistance in resolving this incident in a safe manner.
