KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — It took a few tries but a man wanted for a number of thefts from construction sites in Pavilion Township is in the County Jail this morning after a wild cross county chase on Monday.
Kalamazoo Deputies spotted his car on East N Avenue and chased it to Pavilion Estates, where the driver abandoned the car and fled on foot. A K-9 was dispatched from Kalamazoo and deputies located a stolen handgun allegedly discarded by the suspect.
They obtained a tip that the target of their manhunt had been picked up by a white truck.
The vehicle was located and stopped at Portage and Kilgore and the suspect arrested at about 4 pm Monday, with the help of Kalamazoo and Portage Public Safety.
He is being held for resisting and obstructing, and a couple of gun felonies and the prosecutor may add a few more before he faces a judge.
