Youth Arrested
After High
Speed Chase
A local youth was arrested
early Sunday morning, after a
high speed chase, that ended
with the crash of the pursuing
police car.
Duane Strieter, 18, of 5186
Austin Rd., was arraigned
Tuesday in Municipal Court in
Ann "Arbor, on a charge of
fleeing from a, police officer.
The charge,- stemming from legislation that is new.this year,
carries a maximum penalty of
a $1,000 fine or one year in
jail, or both. It is a high court
misdemeanor (i.e., it must- be
heard in Circuit Court).
Damage to the police car has
not been estimated, but the vehicle is "driveable". The new
1968 Dodge had been in use for
only two days before the accident. No ,one was hurt in the
crash. "
Police said that Officer Lawrence Tilford first noticed the
Strieter car proceeding west on
Michigan Avenue at a high rate
of speed at about 5 a.m. Sunday. Tilford followed and signalled with his flasher for the
speeding car to stop. .Tilford
then gave chase out W. Michigan Avenue, at speeds up to
120 miles per hour, police sEud.
The Strieter car followed a
course on Austin Road, turned
onto Dell Road at alleged speed
of 60 to 70 miles per hour, and
then turned onto Weber Road,
where the speed was estimated
at  70 to  80  miles  per. hour.
It ended when the police car
went out of control on the gravel of Weber Road, left the
road, and struck a fence.
Strieter was also ticketed for
driving 65 miles per hour in a
35 mph zone in the city.
Examination on the "fleeing"
charge has been set for November 22, - and Strieter was released on $50 bond. •
