Michigan State Police say a 23-year-old Detroit man is in custody after leading law enforcement on a multi-city chase in a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee late Thursday night. The pursuit stretched across Dearborn, Redford, Detroit, and Taylor before the suspect abandoned the SUV and was tracked down by MSP aviation.
MSP says Trooper 2 overheard radio traffic that Dearborn police had a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee flee from a traffic stop around 8:55 p.m on November 21, 2025. The SUV had been reported stolen earlier in the day to Wayne State University Police. Trooper 2 quickly located the vehicle on westbound I-94 near M-39 and relayed its movements to the Detroit Regional Communication Center.
When troopers attempted a stop, the driver refused to pull over and continued west toward Taylor. While in Taylor, police say the suspect dropped off a passenger near Telegraph and I-94, then struck another vehicle and fled the hit-and-run scene.
The chase carried into Northwest Detroit, where the driver finally abandoned the Jeep and ran. Trooper 2 kept him illuminated with a spotlight and guided ground units to the location, where the suspect was taken into custody without further incident.
The 23-year-old was lodged pending a prosecutor review.
“Another example of technology catching criminals in our neighborhoods,” said F/Lt. Mike Shaw. “From license plate readers, FLIR and the spotlight on Trooper 2, another suspect ends their night in jail.”
