PAW PAW TOWNSHIP (WKZO AM/FM) — Van Buren County Deputies got more than they expected when they chased down a 29-year-old suspected drunk driver Tuesday night.
Deputies were alerted to his erratic driving on County Road 665 near Paw Paw at about 8:30. After they spotted his car, and he ignored their lights and sirens, he fled into a neighborhood where he made the wrong turn into a dead end street and was blocked in.
Deputies say 29-year-old Justin Earst then abandoned the car and ran off and was eventually found hiding in a garage in the 37000 block of Red Arrow Highway
He was apparently already wanted on several felony warrants, and they plan to add fleeing and eluding and resisting to the list of charges he may face.
