9/26/14 - A Livingston County man is facing felony charges after twice fleeing from officers on Thursday. Livingston County Sheriffâs officials say the incident began around 10:45am when the 28-year-old suspect drove past a deputyâs patrol vehicle on Nicholson Road at a high rate of speed. When the deputy attempted to pull him over for speeding, he refused to stop and fled at speeds reaching 100 mph. The suspect lost control at Mohrle Road near Fowlerville Road in Conway Township and crashed. He then fled on foot from his vehicle, which had caught on fire. As firefighters worked to put the car fire out, deputies and officers with the Fowlerville Police Department set up a perimeter around nearby cornfields to try and capture the suspect. The suspect reportedly then called his mother, who picked him up. When police stopped the motherâs minivan near Vogt Road, the suspect again fled the vehicle. However, police used a K-9 to track him down and take him into custody. A report will be submitted to the prosecutorâs office for possible charges. (JK)
