IRON RIVER, MI-- A man is lodged in the Iron County Jail after he led police on a not-so-high-speed chase.
Monday around 1:40 p.m. a sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle showing signs of road rage in Iron River. The deputy tried to stop the Jeep on US-2 near McDonald’s, but the driver ignored the lights and siren.
The Jeep continued eastbound on US-2 at speeds between 45 and 60 miles per hour. Michigan State Police were eventually able to deploy “stop sticks”, which halted the driver after a 13-mile chase.
The suspect was arrested and lodged for following too close, disregarding a stop sign, fleeing and eluding, driving on a suspended license, and no proof of insurance. His name is being withheld, pending arraignment.
