Overview
- The police chase, which took place on July 1, began with a reportedly stolen four-wheel ATV and escalated into successive carjacking attempts and a high-speed vehicle pursuit.
- Helicopter footage shows the ATV hit the back of a van and the ATV rider then tried to force the van's driver out, a struggle the van driver fought off.
- The suspect abandoned the ATV, entered a parked white Jeep Grand Cherokee with two others, and led officers along westbound I-94 and south on Gratiot at speeds reported up to 90–100 mph.
- The Jeep fishtailed, crossed to the wrong side of the road, and crashed into an innocent bystander's minivan near Rosemary Drive; all three occupants fled on foot and were quickly arrested by troopers.
- Michigan State Police released Trooper 2 helicopter video to show how aerial support tracked the suspects and helped coordinate the arrest, and officials have not released charge details as reporting focuses on the pursuit and public-safety impact.
