4/21/14 - A man attempted a low-speed getaway after allegedly failing to stop for police in Highland Township early this morning. Just after 1am, Oakland County Sheriffâs Deputies attempted to stop a car they say was traveling 82 miles per hour in a 45 zone in the area of Highland and Duck Lake Roads. According to the official report the driver failed to stop, but he did slow down to about 30 miles per hour while the deputies pursued. Sheriffâs deputies eventually boxed the vehicle in with patrol cars and forced it to come to a stop, with no damage or injuries reported. The driver, a 47-year-old Rochester Hills man, was arrested for fleeing and eluding a police officer and lodged at the Oakland County Jail. Police say he was also driving on a suspended license. He reportedly has three warrants out of 50th District Court in Pontiac for assault, malicious destruction of property, and failure to appear in court. (TD)
