10/11/12 - A Howell man will spend at least the next couple of years behind bars following a high speed chase across Livingston County this past summer. 21-year-old Daniel James Bolenbaugh was ordered to serve a minimum of two years and six months and a maximum of 20 years in prison. He was sentenced as a 4th time habitual offender by Circuit Court Judge Michael Hatty and received no credit for time already served in the Livingston County Jail. Bolenbaugh previously pleaded guilty to charges that included fleeing police, receiving and concealing a stolen vehicle and failing to stop after a collision. The July 28th chase started after police spotted Bolenbaugh driving a stolen Mercury Sable in Genoa Township. It reached speeds in excess of 100 mph along Grand River and Bolenbaugh ended up sideswiping a car driven by a 71-year-old woman at the Lake Chemung exit. He finally stopped at an apartment complex off Latson Road and fled on foot but was eventually caught by a K-9 unit after a Brighton police officer climbed up a utility pole and spotted him hiding in a field.
