5/24/13 - A Hamburg Township man has been sentenced in connection with a high speed police chase through Dexter that injured an officer. 22-year-old Ryan Roemer was given two days of jail time already served, one year of probation and 50 hours of community service for his earlier guilty plea to felony fleeing and eluding. After six months and upon completion of community service, Roemer is able to petition the court to be discharged from probation. He must also complete moral recognition therapy and pay $8,575 in restitution. Roemer was speeding on a motorcycle along Shehan Road on November 7th, 2012 when a Hamburg Township officer attempted to stop him but he rode off, leading to a chase reaching speeds in excess of 115 miles per hour. Police say the chase proceeded into Dexter and Roemer eventually circled back south on a street. The police car turned north to follow, resulting in a front end-crash. The officer sustained minor injuries to his arms and subsequent airbag deployment. (JM)
