The incident was witnessed by a WWJ listener in her car, who called the Newsroom to report that the chase ended about 50 feet away from her, causing a jam on Rochester Rd.

She described the suspect vehicle as a "beat-up" black SUV, with at least one flat tire and its muffler hanging off.

"There was a lot of lunchtime traffic," the caller told WWJ's Tony Ortiz. "I don't know if there was any guns or anything like that, but there was about 30 Oakland County sheriffs... coming and coming."

"I believe they stopped him," she added, "but that place is going to be locked up for awhile."

The sheriff's office did not immediately release any further information about the incident, including details about the suspect or what prompted the pursuit.

No injuries were reported.
