In a recent incident in Frenchtown Township, Michigan, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office made a significant arrest after recovering a stolen vehicle. The incident took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning, adding to the urgency of the situation.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office sprung into action around 12:20 a.m. when a deputy spotted a black Chrysler 300 with an improper plate traveling southbound on North Monroe Street near Mall Road. The vehicle then made a turn into a nearby parking lot, and the driver quickly exited and entered a business establishment.
Upon running the vehicle’s VIN, it was revealed that the car had been reported stolen by the Detroit Police Department. The deputies wasted no time and entered the business premises to locate the suspect. However, the suspect managed to slip away by running out of the back door upon seeing the deputies.
A perimeter was promptly set up to track down the suspect, and before long, another deputy spotted a suspicious vehicle leaving the area. A traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle at Mall Road and North Telegraph Road, leading to a crucial development in the case.
The 29-year-old man from Monroe, who was seen driving the stolen vehicle earlier, was found in the backseat of the stopped vehicle. It was later revealed that the suspect had called for a ride and was picked up without knowing that law enforcement was hot on his trail. He was positively identified as the suspect and was taken into custody without any resistance.
The suspect was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and was lodged at the Monroe County Jail, awaiting further legal proceedings. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the incident, urging anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in the case by contacting 734-240-7758.
