Police pursuit ends with arrest, jail time

On August 20th at approximately 11:36 p.m., Deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office attempted to make a vehicle stop near I-49 and North Cass Parkway.

The vehicle had a defective front right headlight and its driver failed to yield to emergency lights and sirens. A pursuit ensued — and the driver began traveling at a high rate of speed.
