A Centreville man was arraigned Monday on a variety of charges after he led authorities on a pursuit starting in Centreville and ending in the village of Colon.
Court officials said William Lowery, 38, faces charges of fleeing and eluding police, and resisting arrest for allegedly striking a St. Joseph County sheriff’s deputy when the officer took him into custody.
Both offenses are five-year felonies. Lowery also faces a 93-day misdemeanor for indecent exposure, as he reportedly removed his clothing prior to being taken into custody.
Bond was set at $15,000. A preliminary exam is expected to take place before the end of the month.
The chase started after the suspect took off from the scene of a property-damage crash, according to the sheriff’s department. The suspect vehicle caused property damage and nearly caused crashes with other vehicles, the sheriff’s office said.
