Reckless Driving Through Berrien County
As the chase entered Berrien County just after 5:15 a.m., deputies were on high alert as the driver sped through the area while heading south on M-63. Reports indicate that the driver was driving recklessly and even veering into oncoming traffic, putting innocent lives at risk.
Intense Pursuit and Arrest
Despite efforts to stop the fleeing vehicle, the driver continued to evade police, leading to a high-speed chase through St. Joseph, Stevensville, and Bridgman. The chase finally came to a dramatic end in Chikaming Township after officers successfully deployed stop sticks, flattening multiple tires on the car.
Arrest and Charges
The driver, identified as 36-year-old Matthew Mensch of Coatesville, Ind., was apprehended and taken to the hospital for evaluation. However, the drama did not end there, as Mensch reportedly attempted to assault the arresting deputy on the way to the hospital and caused damage to the patrol vehicle.
Mensch now faces a slew of charges in both Berrien and Ottawa counties, including operating while intoxicated, fleeing from police, damage to police property, and aggravated stalking. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and the consequences that can follow.
