LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Tuesday afternoon, two young adults and three teenagers were involved in a high-speed police chase that began in Livingston County and ended in Lansing, according to Livingston County. Shortly after 4:30 p.m., deputies from the Livingston County Sheriff's Office say they tried to pull over a stolen 2020 black BMW X5, but the driver wouldn't stop, leading to a chase on I-96 into Brighton, which turned into a dead-end street. Deputies say they tried to pull the car over again, but the driver hit the patrol car and got back onto I-96 westbound. They say stop-sticks were unsuccessful in stopping the BMW.

Deputies say five people, including the driver, jumped out of the BMW and ran. During the initial investigation, authorities found a 19-year-old man from Lansing they say was the driver. Deputies booked him into the Livingston County jail. Deputies also found the four other people from the BMW who are all underage. They are 15, 16, 17, and 18 years old.

The 18-year-old occupant was lodged at the Livingston County Jail for violating his bond conditions from a court case in another county.' No one was injured in the chase or the crash according to Livingston County. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Mike Murphy announces candidacy for Michigan state Senate seat
Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy has announced his candidacy as a Republican for the Michigan Senate District 22 seat. Sen. Lana Theis, a Republican, currently represents District 22 but needs to step down at the end of 2026 because of term limits. The district includes all of Livingston County along with parts of Genesee, Ingham, Oakland and Shiawassee counties. "I would like to first thank Senator Theis for her years of dedicated service in Lansing. She has represented our district extremely well, and I intend to do the same," Murphy said in his announcement . Murphy and his wife Penny live in Howell. He started his service with Livingston County Sheriff's Office as a deputy in 1990, moving up in ranks to sergeant, lieutenant and undersheriff before being elected in 2016 to sheriff. "In my years of service, I have had the opportunity to see how state government functions—both at its best and at its worst," Murphy said in his announcement. "Through daily conversations with constituents, I hear the same concerns repeated: There is too much government overreach, a lack of common sense in decision-making, and too much political extremism on both sides. Many feel their representatives have forgotten who they serve and are more focused on party politics and personal career advancement than on the people." As his campaign gets underway for 2026, Murphy promised to meet with area residents. "What you have seen from me as Sheriff is what you will see in Lansing. I am not politically correct, and I am not afraid to take a stand or speak my mind. However, I am also committed to working with anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, if it benefits the people of our district."
