8/23/13 - A Brighton Township man who police say led them on a high-speed chase this month has been tracked down and apprehended. 48-year-old William Smith faces charges of fleeing and eluding as well as driving with a suspended license in Oakland County, where he is currently being held on a $20,000 bond. Bloomfield Patch reports the charges stem from an incident at about 1am on August 3rd, when police responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in a Bloomfield Township restaurant parking lot. Officers say the driver appeared to be intoxicated, and that he drove off as soon as they left their vehicle. They say he drove on southbound Telegraph Road, and they followed until they confirmed his license plate near 14 Mile Road. Police in Franklin, Farmington Hills, and Novi also pursued the vehicle as it went through their jurisdictions. Police say the vehicle belonged to Smith, who was arrested on Wednesday with help from the Michigan State Police. (TD)
