MONROE COUNTY, Mich. — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says two male suspects from Toledo, a 23-year-old and an 18-year-old were arrested and taken to jail after leading police on a chase into Monroe County early on Sunday morning.
The sheriff’s office says the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Washington Township police notified them of a pursuit crossing into the border into Michigan on I-75 around 2:15 a.m. on Sunday.
The suspects were driving a stolen vehicle, according to a press release.
After the chase continued off the expressway, police eventually deployed stop sticks near South Telegraph Road and Third Street, south of Monroe in LaSalle Township.
Police were able to detain the suspects after the car was stopped.
The sheriff’s office says a gun thrown from the vehicle during the pursuit was later recovered.
The suspects are facing charges for fleeing and eluding as well as receiving and concealing stolen property.
Police did not identify the suspects.
