9/22/14 - A deaf Howell man who was involved in a pursuit with police will appear in court later this month. 62-year-old David Thomas Self was charged with fleeing and eluding police, operating while intoxicated and having an improper license plate after an incident around 3:30am on September 7th. Police spotted Self traveling at nearly 100 mph on a motorcycle on M-59 near Michigan Avenue before turning onto Curzon Street, where he lives. He reportedly slowed down but was zipping through neighborhoods and making circles in an attempt to try and lose officers, but eventually pulled over and surrendered without incident. Self was arrested and taken to a hospital for a blood draw. The pursuit involved two Howell police officers and one Livingston County Sheriff's Deputy. Self is deaf and court records show that a sign language interpreter will need to be present for local court proceedings. His next hearing in 53rd District Court has been scheduled for September 30th. (JK)
