An Inkster man is facing multiple counts, including fleeing and eluding officers, malicious destruction of police property and reckless driving.

Kallen Larenz Careathers, 19, was arrested Feb. 15 by Southfield police in connection with the shooting that took place in Detroit.  

A caller reported to Southfield police around 11:20 a.m. that they had just been shot at in Detroit. The caller, who had a 1-month-old infant in their vehicle, said they were following the suspect car on the freeway near the Southfield freeway. Police reports indicate that officers responded immediately and attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, driven by the defendant. 

Police reports said the driver slowed down and then attempted to flee from officers by striking the patrol car with his vehicle. In an ensuring pursuit, officers used a precision intervention technique, or PIT, which disabled the suspect vehicle near Parkside and Santa Clara in Detroit.

Careathers was arrested at the scene. He was arraigned Feb. 20 in 46th District Court in Southfield on multiple charges and remains in the Oakland County Jail in lieu of a $25,000 bond.
