3/29/13 - Police have taken a man into custody after he led them on a six-mile chase through the southern part of the county and fled into a house. Hamburg Police Chief Richard Duffany says a be-on-the-lookout was put out for an Ypsilanti man in a black Chevy Cavalier at about 5:15pm for reckless driving. Hamburg Officers spotted the man on westbound M-36 less than a minute later and gave chase. At one point the man came to a full stop in the area of Peaceful Valley Drive. Officers pulled up behind him, at which point he put his vehicle in reverse to ram the patrol car and escape. The man then fled to the home of an acquaintance on Merrick Drive. Officers quickly surrounded the house, and the three occupants who were home left the man alone inside. After an hour of unsuccessful negotiations, the Brighton-Hamburg Special Response Team entered the home. They found the man unarmed and hiding in a bathroom. He was the taken into custody. It is not known at this time whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident. (TD)
