The incident started around 1 p.m. when Plinske was caught on radar traveling 92 mph in front of the Saddle West Hotel and Casino on Highway 160, a 35 mph posted zone.According to the arrest report, Plinske waved at the police officer as the two passed traveling in opposite directions. After making a u-turn, the police officer witnessed the suspect drive through the red light at State Route 372. Eventually yielding to police lights while driving the center turn lane, Plinske pulled over on Highway 160 near Basin Avenue.According to the arrest report, Plinske emerged from his black SUV and started moving towards two sheriff’s deputies refusing their commands.“The suspect told both deputies several times to shoot him…†the report said. After being tased to no apparent affect, Plinske jumped into one of the deputy’s vehicles and drove away.DeMeo said Plinske was combative with the officers before commandeering the deputy’s marked vehicle and sped to the courthouse.DeMeo said his office will conduct a full investigation to determine how Plinske was able to jump into a sheriff’s deputy vehicle and drive off. He noted that every car in the fleet should have a mechanism to prevent such an action.“Every one of our vehicles has an anti-theft device,†DeMeo said. “We are going to determine why the device did not activate. I need to look at this vehicle to see if in fact it does have the anti-theft device or if it was somehow overlooked.â€The deputy who initiated the traffic stop used the suspect’s vehicle to chase down Plinske driving the deputy’s vehicle, according to DeMeo.“The individual then got into a marked unit where a brief pursuit ensued,†DeMeo said. “The pursuit terminated at the courthouse and the individual was placed under arrest after a struggle. The officer made the right decision to jump in the suspect’s vehicle and follow him to the courthouse.â€Plinske led police to the Ian Deutch Justice Complex, 1520 E. Basin Ave., where several people were in the parking lot due to the first day of early voting.Plinske immediately exited the police car, and began “coming toward†a deputy and “again refused commands,†according to the report. Plinske was pepper-sprayed, then wrestled to the ground by where the officer and “concerned citizens†were able to subdue the suspect.It remains unclear why the suspect chose to lead deputies to the courthouse on Saturday, which, by chance happened to be the first day of early voting.
Michigan has the best jail cell bars, bar none.
I hear jails got some good moonshine inside.
