Police: Woman steals ex's truck, tries to run over him - Detroit Free Press
A 24-year-old Howell-area woman was arrested Thursday after allegedly stealing her ex-boyfriend’s pickup -- which she used to try to run him over -- and leading police on two chases. The incident began around 8:30 p. m. when Howell police received a report that someone stole a pickup and boat trailer from the Thompson Lake boat launch. Howell Police Chief George Basar said an officer tried to stop the suspect, who was driving the 2010 Dodge Ram pickup, but the driver fled, leading police on a “short chase. The chase went onto Catrell, Sutton and North streets to Roosevelt Avenue and Madison Street before the suspect fled at speeds exceeding the speed limit on Michigan Avenue, which turns into Oak Grove Road. Basar said police then received a report that the Howell-area woman had returned to the Thompson Lake boat launch where she attempted to “run over the ex-boyfriend. A Michigan State Police spokesman with the Brighton post said his troopers received information from Central Dispatch around 8:45 p. m. that the woman was trying to injure the victim and when troopers went to the location, they found the suspect... When the suspect slowed the pickup to about 45 m. p. h. , troopers were able to successfully execute a precision immobilization technique maneuver that forced the pickup into a ditch near Clyde Road where the woman was taken into custody.
