Livingston County Sheriff’s Office deputies joined the pursuit when the suspect, driving a small, silver car, fled the right way down the highway. As the deputy continued to pursue, the vehicle slowed down. The driver can be seen swerving across lanes and making hand gestures out the window.
After speeding up again, the suspect suddenly turned into an official turnaround before continuing to travel the same direction on the wrong side of the road. Video shows the suspect driving directly down the center of the highway, straight through moderate traffic.
As the suspect approached an exit, he veered off the road into a grassy area, where deputies executed a PIT maneuver that brought the vehicle to a stop. The man exited the car and began walking toward a nearby gas station. Deputies deployed a TASER to subdue him.
He was taken into custody at the scene, according to the report. Authorities have not released his identity, and no formal charges have been announced. The investigation remains ongoing.
