IRON MOUNTAIN, MI— A Wisconsin man faces various driving and narcotics charges, following a high-speed chase with Iron Mountain Police Monday.
Officers tried to stop a white pickup truck around 11:25 a.m on Carpenter Avenue near F Street, but the driver took off as the officer approached the vehicle. The driver fled eastbound on F Street, then eastbound on US-2. When the truck came to the intersection with Ridgeview, it ran a red light and hit a Subaru SUV.
The pickup went through a parking lot to Hydraulic Falls Road and Breitung Cutoff Road, then to US-141 and south into Wisconsin. The suspect drove through Niagara and made it to Provencher Road, where the vehicle hit a snowbank.
After a short foot chase, the 24-year-old Pembine man was arrested and lodged in the Marinette County Jail. Police believe he will face charges in Michigan and Wisconsin.
A passenger in the Subaru SUV received non-life-threatening injuries.
