Suspect K-9 Apprehension – Fleeing & Eluding
Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough is reporting the apprehension of a Fleeing and Eluding suspect that occurred on Southbound I-75 near Summit St. in Erie Township.
On Saturday, February 17, 2024 at approximately 3:05AM, Monroe County Central Dispatch was notified by Flat Rock Police that they were in pursuit of a dark in color Ford Fusion, southbound on I-75 coming into Monroe County. The vehicle was reported to have fled the scene of a traffic stop from Flat Rock PD officers and was traveling at high speeds. Deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded and began to set up along I-75.
As the suspect vehicle continued southbound on I-75 near Laplaisance, several Monroe County Deputies joined the pursuit to assist Flat Rock PD. Once near South Otter Creek Rd, Flat Rock PD terminated the pursuit after losing sight of the suspect vehicle, due to the high speeds.
Several minutes later, Monroe County Sheriff Deputy Austin Graham was checking the area and located the suspect vehicle parked on the right shoulder of southbound I-75 at the Summit St. overpass. Upon Deputy Graham pulling behind the vehicle, the male driver exited the vehicle and fled on foot westbound into a wooded area. Responding Deputies and Michigan State Police Troopers set up a perimeter, while Monroe County Sheriff K-9 handler Deputy Danny Greenwood and his Police Service Dog “Arlo” were called to the scene. Shortly after Arlo was deployed, he located the suspect hiding in the area and he was taken into custody without any further incident.
The suspect, a 46-year-old male from South Lyon, was turned over to the custody of the Flat Rock Police Department, who arrested him on Fleeing & Eluding charges.
