PAW PAW MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Van Buren County authorities continue to investigate a high speed chase incident Monday that resulted in a Lawton man’s arrest.
A deputy was attempting a traffic stop on 51 ½ St near Baseline Rd in Columbia Township, when the vehicle fled when the deputy turned on his red lights.
The chase, which reached speeds over 100 mph, went on until the suspect attempted to come back onto the road after driving through a field, and ended up in a ditch.
The suspect fled on foot, but a K-9 found him after a short pursuit.
The man is currently lodged in the Van Buren County jail awaiting arraignment on several charges, including fleeing and eluding.
