8/11/14 - A man has entered a plea after a high speed freeway chase in a stolen vehicle. 21-year-old Kevin Vincent-Lynn Jones pleaded guilty as charged on Friday in Livingston County Circuit Court. He was charged with fleeing and eluding as a second time habitual offender based on a prior conviction out of Wayne County. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to recommend a 36-month jail cap. Police say Jones was the driver of a stolen vehicle involved in a high speed police chase June 3rd that began in Ingham County and continued at speeds reaching 120 miles per hour along I-96 before finally ending in Brighton after stop sticks were deployed by State Police. The 18-year-old passenger in the vehicle, identified as Jonesâ brother, is not being charged locally, although the pair is expected to face charges in Southgate, where they are alleged to have tied up a 92-year-old woman and stole her car, which was the same one used in the chase.
