MENOMINEE, MI— A Menominee man could spend up to five years in prison for fleeing and eluding a police officer.
Last April 4, an officer with the Menominee Police Department observed a vehicle squealing its tires on First Street downtown. When the officer tried to initiate a traffic stop, the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed down the roadway and sidewalk of Sixth Street.
The vehicle traveled three blocks before rolling to a stop at 7th Street and 11th Avenue.
The driver was identified as Brandon Bowers, 36. He pleaded guilty in October to a felony charge of fleeing and eluding and a misdemeanor count of reckless driving.
Bowers was sentenced Tuesday to 16 months to five years in prison.
