The area surrounding Monica & Puritan was locked down and a perimeter has been established. A DPD police K-9 (K9-3) was on scene helping in the search. The Michigan State Police air unit Trooper 2 is also orbiting the area. There is no description of the Dodge Ram’s driver although officers on scene do have the registered owners description and photo on scene. The Dodge Ram is registered out of Lincoln Park and remains on the scene. The escaped handcuffed suspect is described as a 49 year old B/M wearing a Detroit Tiger baseball cap and blue jeans. It is unknown if the handcuffed suspect just ran from the scene or was ejected from the police unit during the collision. (Via Radio Transmissions)
