Man arrested after police chase

A 40-year-old Ypsilanti man was arrested Thursday after leading police on a chase, then hiding under a mobile home.

Just before 5:30 p.m., White Pigeon police attempted to stop a vehicle for a registration violation. The driver fled at a high speed, initiating the pursuit. The man eventually drove into a mobile home park on U.S. 131, and police followed. A short time later, the driver crashed the vehicle and fled on foot.

The suspect hid under one of the mobile homes in the park but refused to come out. White Pigeon’s K9 was brought to the scene, where verbal commands were given to the K9, but the man again attempted to flee.

He was quickly apprehended and arrested without further incident. He is being held on warrants as well as new felony charges.
