KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A Portage man who was wanted on several felonies was arrested Thursday in Kalamazoo when he crashed his vehicle into a building while trying to flee from authorities.
Michigan State Police troopers tried to stop his vehicle when the 22-year-old pulled into a gas station on Sprinkle Rd. in Comstock Township just before 11:30 a.m.. After an attempt to box him in with police cruisers, he struck two unmarked cars, causing significant damage, and then fled away at a high rate of speed.
