A Michigan man’s meth-induced crime spree of destruction and theft came to a dramatic end. The saga began in Redford, where the 35-year-old suspect, involved in a drug deal gone wrong, escalated his criminal activities by stealing a dog at gunpoint. The situation quickly spiraled out of control as he commandeered a tree-trimming truck, equipped with a woodchipper, and embarked on a reckless journey to Brighton Township.

According to the Michigan State Police, the pursuit began around 4:30 p.m. Saturday after reports emerged of the stolen truck being driven erratically. Witnesses described the vehicle swerving across the road, colliding with mailboxes, and narrowly avoiding head-on collisions with other vehicles. It was also reported that the suspect might have been armed and under the influence of methamphetamine.
The chase saw the stolen truck hitting a police vehicle, prompting officers to initially suspend their pursuit for safety reasons. However, the chase resumed as the suspect continued his erratic behavior, eventually crashing into a tree. A short foot chase ensued, leading to the man’s arrest with the aid of a K-9 officer. Remarkably, the suspect was found hiding in a large Rubbermaid container at a nearby home.
During his apprehension, the suspect was found wearing camouflage tactical gear and appeared to be coming down from a meth high. He later admitted to ingesting meth and another unknown drug while fleeing from the police. Despite his capture, the stolen dog, described as a 1-year-old Rottweiler wearing a brown Carhartt collar, remains missing.
The Livingston County Jail is now the temporary residence of the suspect, who faces multiple charges, including operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and unlawful driving away of an automobile. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and often dangerous behavior induced by drug use, leaving a community to deal with the aftermath of one individual’s reckless actions.
