BERKLEY, Mich. (FOX 2) - A wanted man is in custody after fleeing from Berkley police with only one good tire early Wednesday.
Police said Christopher Mobley, 49, of Detroit, had warrants for aggravated domestic violence, traffic violations, and a probation violation when he fled Birmingham police near 15 Mile and Woodward before the chase in Berkley.
