DETROIT (FOX 2) - Michigan State Police confiscated multiple firearms, a suspect's cell phones and even found a stolen vehicle after arresting a suspect late Wednesday.
The arrest happened after an attempted traffic stop in which the driver instead fled the scene.
The first officer was in the area of I-96 and Grand River Avenue when he flipped his lights on for a Dodge Challenger that was speeding.
Despite the vehicle fleeing, MSP's police helicopter was in the area and was able to track the vehicle. The suspect, a 29-year-old man from Detroit, abandoned his vehicle in an alley, before fleeing on foot into a home on Maplewood Street.

After police got a search warrant, they seized a Draco pistole, a rifle, and cell phones. In the backyard was a 2018 Jeep that had been reported stolen.
The suspect, who was on felony probation, was taken to jail.
