On Oct. 22, 2022 at approximately 5:30 a.m., Calhoun County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to a Noise Complaint in the 4000 Block of W. Dickman Rd in the City of Springfield. Upon their arrival, multiple vehicles sped from the scene. One of the vehicles struck a Calhoun County Sheriff's Office patrol vehicle and continued fleeing.
Deputies attempted to stop the vehicles but eventually lost sight of them. Minutes later, Calhoun County Dispatch advised of a vehicle fire matching the description of one of the suspect vehicles on Alden St in Emmett Township. Arriving Firefighters witnessed several individuals exit the suspect vehicle, get into another vehicle, and flee the scene. Emmett Township Public Safety Officers and Calhoun County Deputies attempted to stop those individuals. Deputies pursued the suspects westbound on I-94 into Kalamazoo County and it ended when Kalamazoo County deployed a tire deflation device (stop sticks), which disabled the vehicle at Sprinkle Road near the Business Loop.
The driver fled the scene on foot and was quickly apprehended by Calhoun County deputies. Two adult males in the vehicle were arrested and lodged at the Calhoun County Jail, and three juveniles were turned over to their parents. Multiple felony charges are pending on all suspects involved. The investigation is ongoing.
In total, three of the vehicles recovered in this incident were stolen. There were no injuries during the incident.
